It's possible, but it's nowhere near certain. .su is precedent for a ccTLD outliving its country, among other non-country two-letter TLDs. https://www.computerworld.com/article/3552692/is-the-io-top-level-domain-headed-for-extinction.html has comment from an IANA/ICANN rep, it's very...

Hmm, the in-reply to post looks bridged to me, I see it if I search for https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:xhcl6cbefxy7nsgq6x6ht67f/post/3kyjgdlullp26 in a Mastodon instance.

Ah, you're right! Looks like zayne.bsky.social [bridged their account at 7/31 03:12:17 UTC](https://fed.brid.gy/bsky/zayne.bsky.social?before=2024-07-31T03:56:50.685077), and that post was at 7/30 18:23 UTC. The root cause here is probably that "is this...

Good points! Looks like you're not confused about the timeline. Your reply was at 07/31 00:14:44 UTC, 3h before zayne.bsky.social bridged their account at 7/31 03:12:17 UTC. Your original hunch...

I actually like this, it seems clever and a good UX idea, but it's definitely more difficult to translate. [Bluesky uses index-based facets](https://docs.bsky.app/docs/advanced-guides/post-richtext) for hashtags and other rich text, but...

More details on Mastodon's behavior here in https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/26518 . No response from their team though.

@MS-potilas nice! Or maybe it always worked in Iceshrimp? Here are the key parts of the AS2 for that post: ```json "content": "h\u00e4rkisdolmiospagettikastike. Ehdottomasti jatkoon!#h\u00e4rkis", "tag": [{ "type": "Hashtag", "href":...

Sadly Bluesky facet indices are bytes, not characters/graphemes, so they won't match. Eg `a` is one byte, `ä` is two.

%-encoding like that is for URLs. Here, we have the un-encoded Unicode text.
