opossumcaviar @caviar.0xpossum.dev · 6hSomething that would seriously improve BlueSky as a platform: 1. Copy Mastodon's "all links are 23 characters", allowing you to post citations to long links, or even better, 2. Allow users to cite sources without using any characters at all. 000
opossumcaviar @caviar.0xpossum.dev · 6hBy the numbers, X is disproportionately popular with 1. People who seek CSAM 2. People who produce and share CSAM 3.

opossumcaviar @caviar.0xpossum.dev · 13/10/2026No sugar, no petroleum-based dyes, high fiber. Awesome Can the next health trends be "no sand added" please? Then after that can we get "no curing salts" without a tiny asterisk adding "haha fuck you, except the curing salts we derived from celery"? Low-sodium would be awesome too thanks 000
