I hit my first instance of Meta blocking Canadian news content.
  • @Darkassassin07 it’s a post from Mastodon cross-posted into Lemmy. Only the first image got captured.

    You can see the original post here with all three images https://cosocial.ca/@boris/110851857883747625

    I hit my first instance of Meta blocking Canadian news content.

    Rachael sent me a story from #CBCVancouver via Instagram messages.

    The thumbnail is visible in messages (1), but when I click, I get the restricted message (2)

    I wasn’t following the CBCVancouver account, and when I search for and visit the profile, I get a different message (3)

    I guess Rachael hasn’t had this rolled out to her account yet.

    Remember, there are no good guys in this #BillC18 debacle.

    BlueSky AT Protocol Hashtags Proposals

    BlueSky AT Protocol Hashtags Proposals

    https://github.com/bluesky-social/proposals/tree/main/0003-hashtags

    The #Bluesky team has dropped a handful of proposals that cross protocol and UX. I really like what they have to say about hashtags.

    Proposals \* visually separate tags \* allow spaces \* use curated tag search results \* mute words and hashtags \* opt-in hashtags

    “The proposals here aren’t exactly ground-breaking. They boil down to two things: make the hashtags accessible, and then make them consistently useful.”

    Was at Timbertrain Depot this morning and found out about a #VancouverSummerSips festival by Noms Magazine http://vancouversummersipsfest.com

    “A Self-Guided Festival Featuring Special Cold Drinks from the City's Top Cafes & Food Spots”

    The Timbertrain drink is a Pineapple Express (which looks like an espresso tonic). I didn’t get it this time, but I’ll be back to try it.

    Runs June 21st to July 31st
