Statamic Bluesky comments 

I love that Bluesky has peeked up massively recentl (you should follow me). Because of this growth, the amount of community integrations we're getting for it is great. Marty has setup an addon for Statmaic to utilise Bluesky as a comment source for the site. I'd like to do something like this with my site.
