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

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
