      I enjoyed Stranger Things season 1, and am jumping back in to Season 5. Um…I don’t remember the acting being this bad before? And the sets? And the green screen? And this young man’s wig? Apparently I’ve missed a lot.ļæ¼

      yea i was hoping bsky app will at least explore taking a break from ā€œfour photosā€ twitter layout

      Not gonna lie, it’s pretty annoying that every time I download Threads I see a half dozen new interesting meticulously-executed features that are distinct from what any similar app is doing
      Post quoting another post with an image. Things I notice:
- The quoted post is truncated with an ellipsis so it doesn’t take up the whole screen.
- There’s a ā€œ1/8ā€ widget after the text of the quoted post, indicating that it’s a thread.
- The user’s handle and avatar are the only identification on the post; there’s no display name clutter.
- Relative date formats aren’t used.
