I assume that's a huge part of twitter's inertia, it's one of the only things I can think of that embeds on here aside from youtube and general video hosts.

Hardcastlemccormik posted:Most of what people talked about in Twitter was largely not news to anyone else outside of the site. Twitter loved news about Twitter. That’s still largely true as Twitter dies a long and painful death by chud overdose. I know I’m making a huge sweeping statement here, but you can and should consider just divesting yourself from these monolithic social media apps entirely. yea i deleted mine after the child porn deal and that decision seems to constantly be vindicated

Threads seems to have some functionality for embeds (The Verge has started using them in their stories as an example) but I’ve yet to see anything from Bluesky or Mastodon on that front.

There's a discord embed if you change bsky to bsyy like fxtwitter, but I don't think there's a general embed yet. I think it's supposed to be coming soon

Seth Pecksniff posted:After I left Twitter I found myself much less angry at everything and it was really nice Same. I owe Musk thanks for convincing me to close my account. For a few days after, I'd find myself thinking "I should check Twitter... Oh yeah I deleted it, nevermind" and then just go on with my day. It's amazing. I made a bsky account and it just felt like Twitter again so I logged out and haven't gone back. Life is so much better without all this trash.

I think it's supposed to be coming soon Dunno if this has changed but I've been able to embed Bluesky posts on Discord for a while now without needing a workaround. Ironically, Twitter still needs the workaround pretty frequently because it's a loving trainwreck.

Bluesky has a public facing interface coming soon™️, which I imagine will include some form of embed support. Bluesky’s strategy seems to be slow, careful, growth which will prove to be either genius or a fatal flaw in hindsight I’m sure.

So, at this point is there any consensus if Musk ruined Twitter because he's an idiot, OR it was an intentional act designed to remove a legit global tool for grassroots reporting and news?

Musk is an idiot who ruined Twitter because he sucks at everything except being a bigot, but ruining Twitter probably helped people who didn't like the fact that proles could sass public figures. So really 'yes'.

Based on how badly he fucks up his other companies, I’d say that Elon ruined Twitter because he’s an idiot who’s bought into his own hype. However that doesn’t preclude OTHER people from nudging the useful idiot into breaking the useful bits of Twitter that were inconvenient for them.

I haven’t paid much attention to it, but is Bluesky going to be part of the fediverse at any point? I’m still pretty iffy on mastodon (and kbin/lemmy) but I’m just curious

If no one shows up with a bonesaw with Musk's name on it, it's because he accomplished what he was paid to do. He didn't get a loan to buy Twitter, he was paid expenses for killing it.
