Thank the DK Elves, We Can Now Share Posts to Bluesky [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2025-01-28

Just this morning I saw this new option for sharing DK posts on Bluesky, and rushed to try it out. As you can see, it opens a window for a Bluesky post, and populates it with the URL for the post, its title, the top image, and a short quotation. The URL may include a comment segment. If so, I generally edit that out, and then I might add a further quotation from the post.

Thus, in the first post I shared using this menu option:

GNR January 28 - Put On Your Own Mask First Whether or not we choose to engage in the work of building a better world — especially now that the going is getting very tough indeed — our minds and bodies are already engaged.

The Share mechanism quoted the first 163 characters in the post, so I recommend to all authors to make that opening segment count.

Welcome New Users: Do I Want to Read Your Diary? (Don't Bury Your Lede)

Do people not read your Diaries? Well, do you tell them right up front why they would want to? (Journalists call that the lede.) A Diary should let Kossacks know if they would want to open it. Don't make us guess.

You have the option of leaving in the link to a specific comment, and quoting the relevant part of the comment, thus:

Bob Ferguson, the Governor of Washington, has decided one week of ICE crapola is enough. If the Peach Pol Pot can sign Executive Orders, so can a governor. So Ferguson HAS SIGNED AN ORDER to put the WA state Government on a DefCon2 status regarding deportations. YAY!

My thanks to WineRev for this Good News, and to much more of the Good and the Goofy of past and present, as he offers us every day. Also to Kosack karij, who reposted my first share, and to Donna, who liked this share of WineRev. Donna follows me, and Meteor Blades follows her, and so our web of real information expands.

Please thank the DK elves for this new feature. Last week I opened a Helpdesk ticket to ask for it, and got a gracious reply about how eager they were to provide it to us.

So here it is.

No, not in the Sirius Cybernetics version, per Douglas Adams, in The Increasingly Inaccurately Named Hitchhiker’s Guide Trilogy. For realz.
