A feature we're excited about: we're bringing back the blog era hat tip! Here's how it works: 1) Benjamin shares a neat article from the NYT. Jacob wants to share it too, so he hits the "repost" button. 2) Now Jacob's post gives a link back to Benjamin's for thanks and credit.

The latest version of our mobile app is now live for iOS and Android. If you were part of our private web beta, you can download it now! (You will need to reset your password.)

Aaron Ross Powell makes the case for us to leave Twitter & “decamp to more ethical platforms” so we’re not feeding/being fed by “a moral & epistemic perspective, harmful to flourishing, a functioning culture & a healthy democracy.” I’m on Seabird reimaginingliberty.com/twitter-x-as-a…

Feeling like this is a good time to try out an alternative platform? We're releasing a limited-use code to join Seabird. 1) Download the Seabird Reader app for iOS or Android. 2) Use the code "GetOverYourX" to create an account.

I've enjoyed using Seabird for a long time, even though I keep coming back to the Siren song of X. Seabird reminds me a lot of the old Google Reader: a good way to share articles you enjoyed with a brief comment attached. Give it a try!

Seems like there's a bit of an eXodus happening. If you're ready to get over your X, you're welcome to join our link-sharing community at Seabird!

X was down today? All the more reason to flock to Seabird.
