The latest from Twitter is that you have to be logged in to view tweets, though as I discovered, the blockade isn't totally effective. And even if you're logged in, you can only view a limited number of tweets. This has resulted in another wave of defections; Mastodon saw traffic soar to new heights, while BlueSky halted signups (I'm still on the waitlist so I don't know what that even means). Meanwhile, the search for alternatives continues. Meta's Threads is set to launch Thursday. And this article brings you Hive, which is essentially a blockchain-based social network, "an ecosystem of over a hundred apps, communities & projects and is home to some of the most-used Web3 apps in the world, such as Splinterlands, PeakD and HiveBlog." I tried it but it was a spectacular failure; I'll try again in a day or two (I did learn a lot about recent changes to cryptocurrency law in Canada).
