I've stopped making new links to Twitter postings. I have old links that come up in my "On this day" posts, but I won't establish new ones.

For there with slow connection tions, when I have a post that makes a reference to a Blue sky skeet, I first copy and paste the skeet as text. I set that off as an excerpt.

I follow the text of the skeet with the skeet's URL, causing the skeet to appear as it does at Bluesky. This way, people with slow connections and fast connections alike can see what was said.

Accounts I frequent:
