Got Questions About Strikethrough Formatting?
Why does ~~strikethrough~~ not work on Bluesky?
Bluesky does not parse Markdown syntax. To display crossed-out text, each character must be paired with the Unicode Combining Long Stroke Overlay (U+0336).
Does strikethrough increase the character count on Bluesky?
Yes! Because strikethrough uses combining diacritical marks, each letter is accompanied by a combining mark. Use our live grapheme counter to verify you stay under 300.
Can I remove strikethrough if I change my mind?
Yes! Simply paste the crossed-out text back into our input field and select the Plain Text / Reset option.
