Implemented display of quoted posts, only to realize I now have to make them something you can open. And if it's one of those quote post threads, I feel like each level should be a new buffer that you then have to manually close

Got nostalgic for when I lived in Emacs talking to (old) Twitter and IRC. Wondering how much Lisp stands between me and a Bluesky timeline in Emacs.

I've started Emacs after a few years of using VSCode and IntelliJ and:
- my org-mode config still works, even after I upgraded all packages
- my muscle memory is gone. I meta this, control that and some things ring a bell but ooof this is sad.

Can folks do me a favor?
I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January.
I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am.
I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics.
Here’s two favorite set photos.

![Sascha Stronach is Screaming (@understatesmen) on twitter: "since centaurs in d&d average 6 feet tall, that means they either have tiny pony bodies or the human part starts way higher up on the torso, and since i learned this i've had no rest"

I spilled soda on my favorite WASD keyboard and Cmd key is now permanently pressed and no cleaning seems to help :( I thought it's a good excuse to get a new keyboard but WASD is no longer in business! :(
