Really wild Bike n Brew ride tonight. Start at Union Square. Riot cops walk by, going to a Palestine/Israel protest. Then a group of Orthodox anti-Israel types. Meanwhile a big rally for parks. Fire trucks scream onto 17th. We pull out, pass the fire trucks, which then pass us back. Try to go up 6th Ave but for blocks we're in nothing but cop cars, for the Gaza protest. It was the weirdest group ride I've ever been on. Gaza protestors on the sidewalk, us on the street, cops nervous. #bikeNYC

@stevenbodzin@futurebird The server they use has had a large number of trolls and bad actors (but also some normal people who seem to not know that server’s reputation) some instances have the whole place blocked (which seemed extreme to me, they are a bigger service just not with the best moderation) I’ve had to block a lot of people from there.
