I’ll try it when it does, but I have the Classic Editor plugin installed just in case. I guess it’s supposed to make posts look more Squarespace like. Pffft.
Also on Mastodon.social I like that bots are identified as such. I had a polite bot stop by and let me know it was following me and how to block it if I wanted. That bot was from a new Mastodon instance that needed some filler posts for it’s local timeline. Kinda nice.
On Mastodon.social “Tech News Bot” is pretty darn good. If you are new there and looking for something to fill your feed it’s a nice overview of tech news. You can unfolllow the bots as you find more people to follow.

You can’t just say “Mastodon” like it’s all one.

Interesting. Over on my Wordpress blog, Bing has now crawled deeper into the posts on there and updated the search results. This week I got my first search hits from Duckduckgo and Qwant which both use Bing.
