If you haven’t come across Dread yet then do yourself a favour: read his stuff on here and then smash that Follow button - the sooner we get to 5k the better!

@benaaronovitch.bsky.social Ben, I have just finished “Amongst Our Weapons” & loved it. The whole thing was great, but it could have been a fatberg-in-a-sewer of a book & I would still have loved it, if only for the “I didn’t expect them” ref to the Spanish Inquisition. I honestly nearly wet myself!

Genuine question - how are we going to stop the bots and shills moving over here? Does Bluesky have a way somehow?

The invite code option has disappeared from settings…have we gone to general release now? If so - FANTASTIC NEWS!
