@rbreich These insider trades are getting more and more bold. It used to be a few hundred thousand dollars that were invested suspiciously close to some announcement of Trump.

@rbreich I'll suggest something you can do easily.
Post here on your masto.ai account, and then post links or screenshots on bsky, to maintain your presence there.
The people who own bsky are the same crypto tech bros who support Trump and his corruption. Just like Musk's X, Zuck's Meta platforms.
Stop conceding their primacy. Use alternatives, help those who follow you escape to peer-to-peer/federated services rather than centralized hell-sites owned by people who hate/use you.

@rbreich

and you know some are placing bets on where and when the first nukes will be dropped.

Or who would win a 'fun-sized war' with a shithole country
