Pasting text into the Bluesky web client post box deletes blank lines

[mcclure]

Describe the bug

When pasting multiline text into the Bluesky New Post box, any blank lines are deleted. This is inconvenient because it is usual for multi-line skoots to include one blank line between paragraphs. I often write posts in another editor and then paste them into bluesky (reasons I might do this: I want to write the post ahead of time [bluesky has no], I want to write an entire thread all at once [bluesky has no autothreader]) and when I do, the post gets garbled in this way.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Copy these four lines. Click "New Post" on bluesky. Paste.
