a feature i and many others long wanted in bsky now on @mu.social: syntax highlighting, both directly in the post and for longer code as a @tangled.org string embed! "we can just yolo-merge things!"

love this! out of curiosity, why keep the markdown syntax in the post content instead of using facets?

mostly because i didnt wanna mess with bluesky's lexicons and so that code blocks created on bluesky would still work on mu, but very possible that will be changed/updated later on

i think that you could do this without messing with bluesky's lexicon- can't you define your own facet lexicon type and use that in bluesky records?

why not facets? would it not make sense to use something like $type: "social.mu.richtext.facet#code_block" as a facet? this seems like the exact use case facets are meant for.
