But it's worth pointing out there none of these things are currently possible on Bluesky:
* There's no 3rd party servers/federation - everything is centralised to one company

Well surely that's due to the Safari team sitting on their hands and being 5-8 years late in shipping it, and even now that it has, it's still quite gimped?
Burning out developer enthusiasm is the precise goal in Apple dragging their feet on web features after all.
