I know this isn't breaking news if you don't have an account there but I hate annoying defaults. And some people like DMs so they might make an account there due to that functionality.

I wonder how many Blueskyers are at Hexbear. Three? Dare I say four?

Now available: DMs! Start a private conversation with a friend directly on Bluesky within the Chat tab. 💬

I don't like bluesky, there's no support for quoting in a post (>) and posts are too short so it just looks like shit

And I want four other things: italics, bold, bold italics, and a monospace font. Using online generators are a pain in the ass but they give me 3 out of 4. There is no Unicode for bold italics. : (
