Its not about quote posts. It is more than that. I think it is the ease of finding those you interacted with before. It is also much more active with celebrities, be they journalists or entertainment.

Functionality lacks there, so it is not 'better'. (no edit function for example.)

Though the ability to remove your post **from** a post quote and prevent anyone from seeing the comment is extremely popular.

People want what they liked before and bsky gives them that.

@chris

This being said, all the trolls are there too, but they have some unique moderation functions. Someone maintains a list and you can 'subscribe' and auto-block a bunch of accounts. It will also be changing as they are still figuring out what they are gonna do, so it is not 'stable'. i.e. there is no verification and fake accounts are popping up.

IMO, nothing will ever be what twitter was and people need to move on and accept social media will be different going forward.

Come on, there has **got** to be another country that is more fucked up than the US, right?

HOLY WOW

Atlanta defeats Miami!!

From my local paper. This is pretty huge since my borough is all in on TFG. It really can be depressing but this gives me a shred of hope.

@ATLeagle

Well, it is still early, right? And they're not **so** terrible like in last place. Hope it is a good match for you.

@ATLeagle

Oh, that is so sad.

Mr. Swagger had "considerable fame' in Turkey? Really? WTF for?

@wendinoakland @ATLeagle

Password change - the date says November 5, 2024. I think they meant 2023.

Mr. Swagger trying to gaslight the FBI by saying he forgot his password. 😂

This paragraph is hilarious.

(I also found a typo. I don't think Swaggerman has time travel capabilities to go to the future to change his phone password.)

In the digital print edition of the Financial Times there is a full page ad for the link below. It is quite hilarious. Oh, and it is signed by all the companies who want to steal your data for #AI training. Makes a great boycott list!

The timing is brilliant since we learned yesterday about the LinkedIn AI steal is not available in the UK and EU.

"Fragmented regulation means the EU risks missing out on the AI era." LOL LOL LOL

Nobody **needs** AI.

@reesecommabill

Are they at risk of not making the playoffs?

This apparently is not a joke! Convicted fraudster trying to fraud again. Anyone who gives this fool 1¢ deserves to suffer over cheese sandwiches. Albeit it stark, there is even a web site. Link in the article.

Fascinating. Not a #ClimateChange solution by any means, though the discovery of how the glaciers move and create sediment banks may change some melting models. Could be Nature's way of giving humanity a bit more time to stop effing things up.
