General Carrier oversaw mass drownings in the Loire, loading peasants onto barges and sinking them. Estimates of the dead range from 100,000 to 300,000. The revolution that had declared the rights of man killed a significant fraction of the population of an entire region because they wanted their priests and their land rather than what the revolution had decided they should want. The long arc argument will be made: feudalism ended, the Napoleonic code spread, modernity arrived.

Drownings at Nantes
The drownings at Nantes were a series of mass executions by drowning during the Reign of Terror in Nantes, France, that occurred between November 1793 and February 1794. During this period, anyone arrested and jailed for not consistently supporting the Revolution, or suspected of being a royalist sympathizer, especially Catholic priests and nuns, was cast into the river Loire and drowned on the orders of Jean-Baptiste Carrier, the representative-on-mission in Nantes. Before the drownings ceased, as many as four thousand or more people, including innocent families with women and children, died in what Carrier himself called "the national bathtub".

if you’re using Bluesky OAuth in your app, change your metadata filepath to /oauth-client-metadata.json to have just your brand domain show up on the authorize screen rather than a suspicious looking url string i think 90% of atproto apps don’t do this, seems to not be documented yet
ollie thanks mozz 🫶
(sorry for driveby but i think tangled can update the file to be at path `/oauth-client-metadata.json` to get rid of that long display name *disappears*)
