Never occurred to me that it wouldn’t be, but then again, I still imagine all new films being shot on 35mm today 😀 (And weirdly, I prefer almost all the 35mm shots in the comparison images in that article.)

That’s the most frustrating thing about this. There was no need to edit it the way they did, it was plenty bad enough already.

I think I’m probably biased towards engaging in Mastodon because I’d like it to succeed and grow. I couldn’t really care less whether Bluesky does.
