So, just curious about this:

I elected to not show my account to search engines. What does this actually mean? @cbouzy or anyone else who understands what I did there.

When you think about the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, and the GOP's tepid response, keep in mind that the Trump Administration did what railroad lobbyists wanted the most.

They repealed an Obama Administration safety rule for trains with hazardous chemicals.

So, what's everyone's key insight about how to use this platform, or what's here that you like vs Twitter?

I've been really enjoying the Explore feature.

Going forward, I'd especially like to connect to creators here, and I'd also like to rebuild my homemade news network that Musk ruined.

It may just be me, but my account is hanging for 1m+ when I try to interact with my notifications, and it frequently just ... does nothing in the end.

I don't know how to submit this as a bug or issue, so please forgive the ping @cbouzy

World Central Kitchen | Powerful quakes devastate communities in Türkiye and Syria

Communities throughout Türkiye and Syria were rocked by two powerful earthquakes on February 6. The first—a 7.8-magnitude temblor—occurred in the early hours of the day as many people were still asleep. This quake was felt as far away as Israel and Lebanon.

I think with the setup here a lot less negativity will be present. We will see, of course, but I am here partly because I think this will *work*.

Hey friends, remember we don't have to bring the garbage of Twitter and facebook here. Just treat others as you'd like to be treated and you'll be okay. Also please be aware that snark/sarcasm is hard to read through to text.
