SpaceX has built some of the most inspiring and impressive technology in the world, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to become part of such a special company. Onwards.

Kimi K3 is running 100% FASTER than it was this morning.
Why? Moonshot hit capacity and chose to stop selling NEW subscriptions instead of throttling existing ones. Every plan: sold out. On purpose.
When Anthropic hit the same wall in April, they cut existing users' usage 50% during peak hours.
Moonshot cut their revenue. Anthropic cut your usage.
That says everything.
My Kimi K3 subscription is not going anywhere.
Kimi K3 has received far more love than we expected, and our GPUs are feeling it.
Over the past 48 hours, demand has pushed close to the limits of our current capacity. To protect the experience of existing subscribers, we're temporarily pausing new subscriptions and prioritizing compute for current members. Existing subscribed users are not affected.
We're adding capacity as fast as we can and will reopen new subscription spots in batches.
Going forward, we'll also split membership into two more focused plans: Kimi Membership for Kimi Web, App, and Work; and Kimi Code Membership for coding workflows. This will help us match compute more precisely and keep the experience stable.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Facebook publishing is like a hamster wheel.
You just have to keep pushing new content constantly just to stay in the game. If you pause, you lose.
For a long time, managing my pages alongside running my full-time dental practice was driving me crazy.
Between patient appointments, I had a severe shortage of time. But to grow, I had to keep at least 12 tabs open:
• 3 tabs of competitor pages trying to find what went viral
• 2 tabs of Canva trying to recreate the visual styles
• 4 tabs of Google Sheets tracking schedules, captions, and links
• 3 tabs of Meta Business Suite failing to load my scheduler correctly
It was exhausting. I don’t run some big media team—I’m just a small publisher like you all, learning from others as I go.
Trying to continuously curate competitor pages and produce fresh content on a tight schedule was impossible.
So, to solve my own problem and save my sanity, I built a tool for myself.
I call it Vijeta (which means "Winner").
I’ve been using it internally to run my pages for quite some time now. Once it reduced my daily publishing routine from a chaotic hour of tab-juggling to under 10 minutes, I realized other small publishers might need this too. So I’m finally making it public.
Vijeta brings the entire 3-step page growth loop under one roof:
1️⃣ Excellent Curation (Spotting the winners)
Stop trying to guess what your audience wants. Vijeta filters and grades competitor outlier posts (A+ to B) based on real engagement data so you know what works instantly.
2️⃣ Superb Recreation (Making it yours)
Take that proven visual style and put your own brand spin on it. Our built-in AI Branding Studio lets you rebrand visuals, add watermarks, and rewrite captions in seconds.
3️⃣ Consistent Scheduling (The consistency engine)
Keep your pages active on autopilot. Queue posts to multiple pages with smart drip queues and automatically recycle your top outliers.
***
To be completely transparent: this is the first app I’ve ever made public, and I’m scared as hell.
Since I'm just an independent creator (and dentist!) launching this, please bear with me if you find any bugs. Shoot me a DM or report them directly to me in the replies here on X so I can fix them.
Also, I’d love to get your honest opinion. What did you like? What needs improvement? 👇👇👇

PLAYBOOK: The road from a new politics page to $20K/month
A partner operator opened a politics page from zero in 2025. At 3,500 followers, engagement was already behaving like a 50K page.
The political window is open. The playbook is replicable. Full breakdown below. 🧵👇

RED FLAGS to avoid like the plague for FB pages in the Content Monetization program 👇
Most Pages exclusively chase virality
They post anything that trends, repost clips, or stack up videos for the sake of quantity
Then they wonder why their monetization disables/stalls
Facebook reviews every single post and video to decide what can earn
High volume alone doesn’t impress it - originality, compliance, and advertiser safety do
Here’s how to approach Facebook content monetization like a top publisher:
1. Reposting viral posts, clips, memes, or rewind videos?
• That’s a RED FLAG
• Even repeated content you think is harmless can reduce distribution or block earnings
The fix is simple:
→ Make it yours by recreating
→ Add captions, commentary, editing, or a unique spin
2. Using music you don’t own or clips with watermarks?
• That’s another fast track to demonetization
• Even a few seconds can trigger review
Top Pages solve this by producing their own assets or sticking to licensed music
3. Content that’s hateful, violent, or adult?
• Advertisers see it as toxic
• Even subtle offensive signals can flag a post
Safe, neutral content reaches broader audiences and earns consistently
• Misinformation and deceptive claims are deadly
• False health advice, financial scams, or exaggerated headlines get blocked
Big Pages verify every source - they publish facts
4. Clickbait and engagement-baiting?
• Misleading headlines don’t trick the system
• Meta restricts posts that force engagement
Earnings come from content people like, not content you manipulate
5. What happens when a post violates these rules?
• Partial demonetization, temporary suspension, or total removal of monetization eligibility
• Repeat offenses hurt your Page’s credibility and future earning potential
6. Monitoring is simple if you know where to look:
→ The Monetization tab in Meta Business Suite or Professional Dashboard shows flagged posts
Treat it like a checklist:
→ Fix or remove non-compliant posts immediately and track your actions
7. Originality, safety, and compliance aren’t optional
Top publishers build content with those rules in mind
They create, monitor, fix, and distribute strategically
Meta rewards quality
But it doesn’t reward repetition, shortcuts, or risky content
If you want consistent earnings, your page must act like a professional publisher, not a content spam machine

Style Rules: No em-dashes—use commas. Casual, Reddit-isms like "tbh" or "ngl" lightly

That's it. You're welcome. After your 2 week warm up period you can start posting soft shills
GLHF, Valhalla awaits

LEAKED: FACEBOOK'S CONTENT MODERATION SYSTEM EXPOSED (2025 INSIDER THREAD)
We got some juicy insider information from an in-house employee at Meta about their inner workings and policies. Every publisher and news organization NEEDS to know this, here's what's really happening...
1. The VIP Secret List is very real:
• There’s an internal whitelist for journalists, celebrities, and certain politicians.
• Internal whitelist exists - if you’re on it, bans get reversed in hours
• Example: Andy Stone (Meta comms exec) personally restored a journalist’s account.
• Regular creators, even verified ones, don’t get this treatment unless they have a personal contact (which we have and can help you get)
