I tend to get dogpiled every time I say this but: as someone *who likes bluesky and benefits from being here* we have a problem.

The network is shrinking, not growing. It's shrinking a lot: only about 1.1m people a day even like a post. This time last year it was 1.6m.

NOT-OD-25-080: Rescission of the Final Scientific Integrity Policy of the National Institutes of Health NIH Funding Opportunities and Notices in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts: Rescission of the Final Scientific Integrity Policy of the National Institutes of Health NOT-OD-25-080. OD

Speak out. Either we all resist or we all suffer the consequences. #teslatakedown in Littleton Colorado.
