Celeste Caeiro has died at the age of 91. She gave Portugal's Carnation Revolution its name by distributing free carnations to the military that overthrew the dictatorship on April 25, 1974. The red carnation became a symbol of our freedom. Rest in peace.

People moving to Bluesky is not a structural solution to monopoly tendencies and network effects. For that you would need a real shift towards a fediverse architecture, meaning your contacts/content is platform-independent. But some differentiation in terms of platforms people use can only be good.
