a bluesky post can join two users by mentioning them, which shows up in the post record as links in the facets.

aka, posts can act as a many-to-many join between mentioned users

want to see who you’re mentioned together most often with?

motivating example was bluemoji, but it's already usable for some general traversal. you can ask,

> what issues on @tangled.org have a "good-first-issue" label?

Caught the Bari Weiss episode of Last Week Tonight finally and my biggest takeaway is that those weirdos seem to think lateral reading counts as journalism. You're not being a reporter by just opening a new tab and googling someone's name. That's what my high school students do, you dorks.

sooo much was different about the 70s-80s phone ecosystem. I mean, yes, you memorized a few key 7-digit numbers (my best friend's was 392-2280) but it wasn't hard because you also dialed them, one number at a time, every time you made a call - lots of physical practice of any number you called often
