The moderation proposal is obviously more important, because who cares about the UX of an app if it isn’t a safe, inclusive, and affirming place for folks. But if I can sneak in a separate question, is there a way to allow previews of posts when sharing them over text, rather than generic links?

Bluesky’s goal is to turn social media into a shared public commons. We don’t want to own people’s social graphs or communities. We want to be a tool that helps communities own and govern themselves.
