New to Bluesky. Why are images associated with a link so bizarrely large? 🤔

When we get swamped, our response time actually gets shorter not longer. Our editor doesn't want to fall too far behind, since he's the only reader. Rest assured, every piece is read carefully, multiple times. Nobody gets short shrift around here! #writingcommunity
