Reminder that even if you hate features we add (and by that I mean GIFs), a core principle is that you’re able to curate your experience and “control your scroll”! Go subscribe to @nogifsplease.bsky.social and it’ll be like they were never added at all
11 59 152I asked @aaron.bsky.team & it apparently causes slow downs (on the user's end? On Bluesky's network? 🤷)
But yeah, with all the new labelers popping up, I think ppl are going to reach that threshold
The Tl:dr is network go slow.
Can always revisit if users are maxing that out in numbers.
Btw, I tried to tell Paul about this but he didn't see this. Could you pass this along?
Hey Paul, there's a bug on bsky.app web that let's you make blank quotes. When you do it on the app it says "Did you want to say something?" if you try to post a blank quote. But on the web you can leave it blank & it looks pretty unusual.
What situations would you want to quote something with a blank message as opposed to simply reposting?
1 2That makes sense actually. I find myself doing that a lot & adding the 👀 or 👇 emojis to them.
Hopefully ppl won't just post them to their main timeline & I hope the OnlyPosts feed won't show them (it does show quotes)

yeah, I can't imagine that'll be a huge problem but we can reevaluate if it is
