Bluesky has made a lot of progress recently. Last week, they finally added video support, a long awaited feature.

Rather than using the camera icon to post either photos or videos, they added a filmstrip icon to the post composer window to choose a video. Videos are limited to 60 seconds.

Bluesky also announced today that they now have 10 million users (I’m number 148,460). When X/Twitter was banned in Brazil, the majority of former users joined Bluesky, with over 500k new users in two days.
