Launch: Interact with Unbridged Replies & Mentions Last year, we launched a feature for Bridgy Fed that sent a DM of an hourly digest of interactions that we couldn't bridge back to your native platform. While that gave you visibility into interaction...

We're excited to launch our most-requested Bridgy Fed feature: being able to interact with unbridged users!

Starting today, when people interact with you on the other side of the bridge, you'll get a notification over DM along with a "respond" link, where you can like, repost, reply, or block.

Jeffrey Epstein’s digital cleanup crew β€œi want the google page cleaned,” Epstein wrote in 2010.

Incredible @miasato.bsky.social dive into Epstein's intense SEO and reputation cleanup operation, which waged constant war on Google Search and Wikipedia www.theverge.com/report/87608...

I don’t think centralization is particularly necessary here because OUR NEIGHBORHOOD RESPONSE NETWORKS ARE NOT A POLITICAL ORGANIZATION but he’s 100% correct that the fetishization of anonymity over the core goal, spreading information, is strangling their effectiveness

Bryan Johnson tweet, Feb 1, 2026:

8 years ago I met Epstein via zoom. A mutual contact put us in touch as I was building my brain interface company Kernel and he had supposedly done some neuroscience stuff at MIT. 

After a ten minute video call I immediately called the person who put us in contact and told him that Epstein seemed like a very dark person. I felt sick to my stomach. I also told him I that never wanted to speak to him again. I remember this so clearly because I knew nothing about him but weirdly, intuitively, something was deeply wrong. Being in his proximity felt dangerous.  Despite having nothing to go off of, I never interacted with him again and came to find out years later that he'd had a fucked up past.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

The AltStore is federating to Bluesky and the rest of the social web. Now developers and users can connect with each other on an open platform while drastically improving app discovery. I believe so much in this mission that I joined their board to help.

"We are going to have to live here with each other" is one of the most revealing things he could have said, because it ignores the fact that many people in America have had to live in the same streets and towns as those who dehumanise them - and to accept that grim reality - for their entire lives.

My Spanish teacher and I talk about AI and ChatGPT a lot and it’s so hard for me in casual conversation in English not to pronounce ChatGPT in the Spanish way now. β€œChat-heh-peh-tay.” It just sounds so nice off the tongue

the fake news media won’t tell you this but β€œTwinkle Twinkle Little Star” has deeply Satanic origins, as the rhyme is actually about Lucifer the Morningstar being cast out of heaven after experiencing Twink Death. In this essay I will

Yeah, the thing is, once it becomes completely obvious that this is the game, Democrats no longer need to act like we care. Turnabout is fair play.

"Our next mayor" chants broke out as results posted. Harrell has the advantage of incumbency and corporate support, but Wilson's progressive challenge has caught fire.

the roll out age verification in the UK has clearly been devastating (clear examples of censorship & discrimination, & they’re scanning young people’s faces) but if platforms are also now blocking VPN workarounds that’s the end of the ability to β€œfreely travel” online

Maybe it’s because I’ve been holding a newborn for two weeks but it has occurred to me a lot that nihilism is not actually tenable long term - eventually someone will come along and try to rebuild a lot of things because that’s just what people do

Harrell really is just awful. Looking at you, folks who endorse this behavior.

Probably not enough said about how much grok is just constantly pouring fuel on the X tire fire. Like, on top of all the ways X has turned poisonous, you have an LLM wrapped around it that is constantly being tweaked to suit the owners idea of what a β€˜based robot’ ought to sound like

Man despite it all…I love technology. My barber has a high degree of hearing loss, and just recently got hearing aids after dealing with it for several years. Hearing a grown man express with wonderment in his voice β€œI can hear birds sing! I haven’t heard birds in years!”…man, that was awesome.
