🚨Important announcement!🚨
From today, HOTCUS has decided to no longer employ this platform. Like others, we have grown increasingly concerned about the platform's governance. This account won't be deleted to avoid others misusing our name, but we will no longer be checking it.
We will instead be posting over on Bluesky, where we hope those of you who have already migrated will give us a follow at bsky.app/profile/hotcus.bsky…. We will begin making regular posts there in the coming weeks as our follower count grows.
