Don't love the wording of this - it feels a bit like saying ChatGPT is down, forcing news writers to take a long coffee break.
It is a sign of things to come, though, if we don't change course: power and reliance on fewer and fewer superwealthy companies, that can squeeze you for all you have.

@support.bsky.team Hi folks. Is there a way to disable the "What's up?" line that appears at the top of the Feed screen when you open the iOS app? I post rarely enough that I don't need to see that field whenever launch BlueSky.
Thanks and have a good one.
