The post X Debunks Popular Engagement Myth on Pope Leo’s Tweet appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
X Head of Product Nikita Bier debunked a persistent social media myth on May 31, directly telling the Vatican’s account that embedding a link in an X post does not reduce its reach. The exchange followed @Pontifex, the Vatican’s official account, which posted an excerpt from Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, with a link to the full text on vatican.va. A user replied, advising the Pope to append the URL in a threaded reply for better algorithmic performance. X Head of Product Steps In Bier entered the thread with a single-line response addressed to the head of the Catholic Church: “Hey Pope, this isn’t true.

The post Adam Back dismisses BIP-110 censorship claims as fork debate returns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
A fresh Bitcoin debate has broken out on X after Mr.Hodl linked Roger Ver’s old censorship criticism with new complaints from GrassFedBitcoin about BIP-110 discussion channels. Summary Mr.Hodl linked Roger Ver and GrassFedBitcoin as Bitcoin’s BIP-110 moderation dispute moved back online again.
