…#Trump has criticized allies & talked about withdrawing US troops from around the globe. That could benefit Russia & China, which seek to diminish the American security presence in Europe & Asia. Trump often praises…Putin…& Xi…as strong & smart men who are his close friends.
To that end, Trump has been trying to formalize Russian control of some Ukrainian territory—& American access to Ukraine’s minerals—…effectively carv[ing] up Ukraine, similar to what great powers did in the age of empires.
@ascentale A9: BlueSky is absolutely the current hotness, and I don't think we can or should fight that. BUT!
What we _can_ do and I think _should_ do is establish links across BlueSky and the Federation, so people know they _can_ come here and _not_ lose contact with their friends.
To that end, I wrote up a big post telling people in simple, basic steps how they can follow each other across the services via BridgyFed. It's here:

This has been well received in migration circles so far, and I've been picking up new followers both on BlueSky and Mastodon.
It also gets BlueSky people reminders that the Federation is here, which will be _very helpful to us_ if and when BlueSky goes to shit.
