additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: Combines first-person apology ('I may be that person, I'm sorry') with comparative framing ('X offers a similar toggle') to borrow credibility from established platforms while signaling moral distinction through tone and emphasis. The framing makes the feature feel more consequential than its technical scope warrants, subtly elevating Bluesky’s ethos over its engineering execution—though no claims outrun validation, as the feature is real and observable.
