And if you wrote a script you’d be blocked for botting, so…

I don’t know about the stack now, but LinkedIn was built for performance with either Kafka or Elixir (I can’t recall), so I don’t think they can blame that. It’s probably more a case of “don’t wanna” than “can’t”.

Good for you, though. Keep your park clean, I always say.

I don’t wish to engage in the topic either way. I come here to be social, not to talk about what is ostensibly “work”. To riff on what you say, the faddishness of fads and keeping up with the Joneses is ripe for satire. In my opinion, deservedly so.

It’s user hostile behaviour. Surely a custom filter list can’t be that hard to implement.

Also many people have a hard time remembering to use Alt text! Thankfully Bluesky has a setting which will remind you to add Alt text prior to posting.

Here are the instructions:
I see people saying

“I would use alt text but I keep forgetting!”

Thankfully, @bsky.app has a setting for that.

- Go to Settings
- Then Accessibility
- Toggle “Require alt text before posting” to the active setting.

Now Bluesky will remind you to add alt text to all of your posts.
