@tchambers yesterday I saw someone on Bluesky commenting about how 10 years ago Twitter had been the place to go for the truth about the protests in Ferguson. Compare that to the protests in LA now and there's no truth to be found on Twitter.
Anyways thank gods the open social web is around at this moment.
