Hey everyone, we just launched a following on the MoTaverse so I thought I'd quickly show you how to do it. ↵ First up, you need to find someone to follow. So let's type in someone's name. In this instance, we're searching for Bug There we go. And we're going to scroll down and find Bugs account, which is there. And hey, there's Bug. So you can follow Bug. You can see Bug now has two followers and they are not following anyone else. And try that again. Maybe let's follow Space Duck. There we go. There's Space Duck. Let's give Space Duck a follow. Who else should we follow? Space Seagull. Space Seagull. Let's give Space Seagull a follow.

A cosmic beachfront scene under the TestBash Brighton logo, where the MoTaverse crew welcomes Planit as Bronze Sponsors of TestBash 2025. A colourful row of beach huts is filled with determined astronaut ducks, playful bugs, and a curious tester pushing a buggy-bound test bug. One particularly dashing bug has claimed its hut with a crown-like yellow cap. The MoT flag flutters proudly as a pencil-carrying seagull cruises overhead. With Planit now on board, the quality strategy side of the MoTaverse just got a serious boost. Keywords: Planit sponsor, TestBash Brighton 2025, Ministry of Testing, MoTaverse, QA community, software testing conference, test strategy, bug characters, testing beach huts.

The image is a screenshot from a video with two women on screen, each in their own video panel. The background is a dark purple with white star-like speckles and shapes. On the left panel, a woman identified as "Nataliia Burmei" is shown from the chest up. She has light brown hair pulled back and is wearing a dark-colored top. She is smiling and looking slightly to her right. Behind her, a bright room with a white wall and a doorway is visible. There's a light fixture hanging from the ceiling and what appears to be a framed picture or sign on the wall behind her. On the right panel, a woman identified as "Jenny Bramble" is shown. She has blonde or light brown hair and is wearing glasses. She is also looking towards the viewer. Her background is a more natural setting, possibly a sunroom or a room with large windows, showing trees and plants outside. There are also several houseplants visible behind her. At the bottom of the screen, there's a text overlay that appears to be a caption from the video, reading: "in most cases, do not do things alone." In the top left corner, there is a logo that says "MINISTRY OF TESTING".
