But, both Bluesky and Threads are federated platforms which is a win. <br/><br/>We&#39;re using the Newsmast X account to help people understand alternatives and encourage federation when they move. I&#39;m especially glad to see that going back to help was worth it. 2024-08-08T09:07:17Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsg7w0dltn2c7l03d783q0a6ga7346cyf5hfkvnhumx7vmx9u57dyczyp6k5g9anzynhnwafan5thtn5w74hdvq2whavsxppaps2u0jd43z5cf4u0q In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs26sch3sxnh48jrz8pgpwufsl6fpg7620h6x3r7r6vqawtsv0h8es48335v'>nevent1q…335v</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The nation has, over the past week, seen a number of so-called &#39;race riots&#39; fuelled by misinformation and dangerous actors on social media. <br/><br/>The biggest culprit, X.
