Completely unrelated: I am utterly amazed at how fast bluesky seems to be becoming common.
Been using it since last July. When it was Mastodon, but centralised and with actual regular users posting stuff regularly. Becoming more like early Twitter over the last few months, necessitating use of mute/block lists. (The actual block function is great though, use it and you’ll never see the antagonistic user again.)
It would be nice if we could get a plugin that makes embeds work the way X embeds do, but it's 2024; nobody's writing new code for forum software anymore. It's frankly a miracle that the X embeds are still working, because every single time I've clicked through to a post, it's just thrown the generic error that it gives everyone who's not logged in because it's 2024 and nobody's writing new code for X either.
