Almost certainly no big loss. One more social network pushing me out.

Breaks on both Firefox and Edge. I don't have Chrome installed to test it on.

  The gist sadly doesn't work. I have tried local overrides and it still redirects to modal screen.
  I have been able to login to bluesky via third-party client to publish farewell post.
  Absolutely fuck that.

  I'm in the U.S. but not a state that has this requirement. No idea why it's requiring it for me (nor why it's so broken.)
