We've been waiting a decade for any repercussions. He's so well known for it. And like he started a literal cult? Instead he gets awards and further access

I have been so unsocial here. Apologies the world is so overwhelming. Love to @wired.com magazine for the article on the creation of Bluesky. A reminder that it's important to support platforms that are run by boss rebel femmes
