Interesting. I hadn't seen that. But if you feel you misinterpreted it, does that mean the grand coalition is the most likely outcome?

I think I'm about 9 months back or more. Sick of breaking changes and I know there are a lot coming up. Seeing how long I can hold out ;-).

You don't think the grand coalition will return? It seems like the most likely outcome.

Bluesky's main feed is totally algorithm free, it's just the people you follow's posts in chronological order, same as mastodon.

Starter kits are optional, but they allow you to get started in hours rather than months.
