For some reason people fleeing the sinking #Twitter / #X ship for #BlueSky don't seem to be aware of the fact that crypto bros at #BlockchainCapital bought a huge stake in the company just a few weeks ago. Like these are basically the same crypto bros who just helped #ElonMusk buy Twitter. They might even be literally the same people (I strongly suspect they are but I'm too lazy to check). Either way #BlockchainCapital was co-founded by #BrockPierce, who also brought you #Tether, AKA the company that Trump's transition team chairman manages $120 billion for. Pierce is also a friend of the #Netanyahu family.

You don't have to take my word for it. Here's the official press release: bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2…

Moving to BlueSky is not an escape. Growing a base there is just putting in a bunch of work to create a platform that will be co-opted by crypto bros as soon as X breaks in half.

p.s. crypto bros (#a16z) also own #Substack

Los brasileños se adaptan a la vida sin X mientras migran en masa a Bluesky: “Acabo de entender que estaba enganchada a Twitter”.

Antes o después lo entenderán también los jueces. Muchos de ellos tendrán que desengancharse primero.

Lo malo es que antes o después se vendrán para acá.

This Canadian Member of Parliament asked ChatGPT for a list of capital gains tax rates by country, got a nonsense answer, screenshotted it, and then tweeted the incorrect information.

(He later deleted the tweet.)

#sadly you're not getting a similar response here as on #x. I actually put the entire text of your #metatag description into a #google #search...

On top was a link to your #app on #googleplay 🙄

BUT... I scrolled though many results... you're #NOT there... I mean serious, just not there.

Your #Mastodon account comes up well before anything remotely #tuta...

#discrimination comes in so many forms... seems people who speak the #truth are always beat down.
