Offsite status page

[denise]

We've been looking for an alternative to Twitter (excuse me, "X") for our offsite status announcements of the "shit's fucked enough that the site won't load; we're working on it" variety, and have finally settled on Bluesky as the correct choice for that purpose! If you are a Bluesky user, please follow https://bsky.app/profile/dreamwidth.org; if you aren't a Bluesky user, please bookmark that page.

(Side note because I know people are going to ask: yes, we'd like to add Bluesky (and Mastodon) to the username shortcuts, but the way they construct usernames and profiles is complicated enough that we have to give it some extra thought on how we're going to be able to do it!)

Have you also considered adding SquidgeWorld, which uses AO3 source code, to the username shortcuts?

I think we might have an issue open to add that; I'll check and if not I'll go ahead and log one when I get a second.

+1 Adding my vote to this suggestion! I switched from AO3 to SQW a while ago and it'd be so much easier if we could use the username shortcuts over here.
