    I&amp;#39;m grateful that you deem a post worthy of being boosted, but who thought it was a good idea to build boost-bots? I&amp;#39;m blocking all bots that I discover. Mastodon is for people interaction. Keep your bots on Bluesky and X.

    Ukraine’s drone advantage is based on feedback loops and 7-day innovation cycles between user and producer.

At some point, the database stops matching reality. At that point, we usually end up tweaking the database, not the world.
