Some FAQs that have come up in 2025 for the new #DVpit on Bluesky! We Discourage the use of Agent Guides, Pitches or Excerpts as attached graphics to pitches. It bogs down the feed & doesn't allow agents to get through as many pitches. We'd like to allow everyone a fair shot at making an impression

Sometimes I find queries waiting in QT that I don’t even remember sending and I’m starting to think that maybe sleep-querying is a thing . . . 🫡 😂
