Happy otterversary Juno! She joined the sea otter family 11 years ago, after being found and rescued by @montereybayaquarium.org

It works! But not completely though? When i click the video to play it, my browser opens a new tab to Bluesky, instead of playing the video inside of my DU post.

Just the same, YAY!

2. Skeet?

Uh, no. Just NO!
Don't go looking up what skeet is slang for...

3. LOL. Too late. It's settled law. 🫡

Jay tried to get users to stop but they ignored her. (To be fair, I don't see "skeet" used that often anymore)

Guys, please don't let "skeets" stick

The experiment in decentralized naming decisions has resulted in the worst possible term

How about skoots? Can we bring back skoots? Bluesky OGs, help me out here, remember skoots?

5. I'm not sure if Bluesky videos play via embeds on other sites

Oh well. Maybe eventually.

Just the same, I'm so happy! Now I can share text and images from Bluesky on here!

6. Is there gonna be a colored square indicating an Bluesky post?

7. That's not for me to answer

That's for Elad and EarlG.

8. I did one a few moments ago...

...and I do it primarily to demonstrate that it's a legit link. Mine came out looking like yours. I realize that if people click through they're prompted to log in to Bluesky or something like that, and hopefully that will change, but as long as I have been on DU, there has always been a preference for posters to provide a link to their source. I also copy any text from Bluesky and paste it here, so really, all people aren't getting (if they don't want to log in or don't have an account) is the video. I'm OK with that, for now.

9. Me too!

I'm so glad I'm a bit giddy!
