Okay, I dump on bsky a fair bit... I mean no edit feature (still), it tends to really mangle images when recompressing them, it has an obnoxiously low character limit, it's not *actually* federated in any meaningful way, etc, etc... but today I uploaded a video and they now let you upload soft subtitles (vtt format), which is an awesome feature that I wish Mastodon/Fedi (and other platforms that let you share video) would adopt!
Of course it'd be even cooler if browsers would just handle soft subtitles included in videos (and/or content ingestion pipelines would extract them as necessary), but any support for soft subtitles is a huge step forward.
The script I use for video clipping in mpv will (optionally) burn hard subtitles into the clip, which is what I tend to do when sharing online, but it annoys me when we *have* the technology to do better here.
Hah. I just noticed an alt-text typo in the bsky post that prompted this revelation, which, of course, I cannot edit, because bsky.
Fixing the error in the fedi post was, of course, trivial.
