Replying to a post:

Trimming-down my social media presence, at least for now, back to just Micro.Blog. I love how quiet Micro.Blog is, but it does feel rather, idk, lonely, compared to Mastodon and BlueSky. Any tips for addressing this?

By far, I would be most excited if browsers could handle progressive decoding on one image file rather than websites having to handle multiple file sizes. I also like that it has lossless conversion with the existing JPEG format.
