This thread is the best breakdown of the Claude source leak I’ve seen. Just incredible stuff.

The part of the Claude dump where the Anthropic people instruct their slopbot to lie about being a slopbot.
The English-language edition of Wikipedia is blacklisting https://Archive.today after the controversial archive site was used to direct a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack against a blog. As if DDoSing a blog wasn’t bad enough, the archive site also tampered with web snapshots. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/wikipedia-bans-archive-today-after-site-executed-ddos-and-altered-web-captures/
Attention Required!

X said it suspended 800 million accounts in 2024 for spam and manipulation, warning that state-backed influence campaigns are widespread, with Russia the most active, followed by Iran and China.

Building an online community takes more than tools. But the right tool can make all the difference.

@rysiek What was cool was that within a chat room you can make a message which is itself actually a thread....so you can have a space with many rooms (each a general idea) and within a room many threads, and the THREADS are where the actually conversations happen....very interesting architecture for collaboration. All e2ee and open source code for everything. I think it's safe.
@rysiek Nicely explained, very much appreciated. Yeah, I actually have very few folks to even talk to on element, most of my peeps just use signal...but one group I worked with did do some really complex *space building* on element with a bunch of different rooms.
@rysiek Interesting. I'm curious why not a fan. I'm always open to consider shortcomings in platforms even if it's a platform I enjoy.
@rysiek @delta I really like Matrix with element. I haven't tried it on a phone, but on a laptop its outstanding.
