    I've just had all my posts on Bluesky deleted. And the now empty account unable to function.

    It occurred after a failed attempt to reply to a post from someone claiming to be concerned about accuracy in regards to Russian matters (the original post was critical of occupying powers – Russia, Israel and USA). So three plausible agents. And all 3 in union to some degree.

      Bug or setup or moderation?

      One of the problems with Bluesky is their decentralised server model which tends to leave moderation and setup in the hands of the unskilled.

      I’ve read about tales of woe about content parts of the system just dropping out from machine crashes.

    So good to see Dutton flip-flop on the electric car subsidy.

    That will turn off a lot of Aussies with company cars who could trade up essentially 30% in car value from a petrol to an electric.

    He cant be trusted. Dutton loses the 4th week of campaigning.

    Looking forward to seeing the sane Albanese Labour back for a second term soon.

      Yup Albo looks to have this with Duttons defense spend announcement Omni shambles.

      Murdoch's mob given Dutton the usual wide berth on the dodgy nuclear policy to ensure the teals dont get extra leverage in some tight seats.

      Jeez that's grim news. For a country that is a primary producer it's another fail for market driven politics.
