Blog messages show up in feeds in full #453

What's the problem you want solved?

When looking at a feed, like /latest, the blog messages can be huge.

Is there a solution you'd like to recommend?

Only display a summary of blog messages in feeds.

yeah they're quite attention-grabbing. blog type messages actually usually have a summary field and a picture associated that patchwork uses for preview:

Ideally, I'd say that we show sth like that instead of the full thing, and then either hide the full article behing a content-warning-like collapsible, or just redirect to a dedicated thread url.

if we go with the latter, it might be cool to have a specific view for blogs because the slim timeline layout of oasis doesn't really work very well for content that long.

Oh, I know -- we could add a <details> thing like we do with content warnings! It's not as snazzy as the Patchwork thing, but it maps to the blog's semantics super well and the browser already implements the "click to show more" mechanic for us.
