The foundations of America’s prosperity are being dismantled.

A note to designers of Bluesky as a platform. I've been playing with adding metadata to posts in a thread, see below. As you can see the metadata overwhelms the content in the post. Wouldn't it be nice to have a set of templates to choose from, post types? Let designers be part of the platform.
