Google is a fucking joke
Tried to sign into a work related account for an urgent issue
Entered password
Clicked "Get a verification code at ************23"
Entered the phone number to verify the phone to get the verification code SMS on the phone
Entered the verification code
Told to open the Gmail app on the phone and tap number 7 on the phone
Did that
"You've tried to sign in too many times. For your protection, you can't sign in right now"
For my protection!
Not your keys = not your data = a complete fucking waste of time
Bluesky is NOT easier to use than nostr!
You could build an AppView
Or use nostr & click remove relay button ๐ค
The point of decentralization is user control
That means managing your network
We tend to gripe a bit but on nostr managing your network is just managing your relays
And that's pretty easy
On Bluesky managing your network means managing THIS
Bluesky only appears easier because users don't have the ability to manage their network

Few decentralized social network developers actually want decentralization
The inherent contradictions of Bluesky
1) we identify the problems of centralized moderation and implement a solution that lets users choose from decentralized moderation providers
2) we override our decentralized solution by *hardcoding* moderation and recommend that *other apps* (!) using the ATProto do the same
"to provide a strong foundation that upholds our community guidelines"
Means they want to control human behavior
Prediction: ATProto will never become effectively decentralized

bokeh
"The term comes from the Japanese word boke (ๆใ/ใใฑ), which means "blur" or "haze", resulting in boke-aji (ใใฑๅณ), the "blur quality". "

Summer rain
Fishing boats going out to sea
Decks adorned with giant glass filament bulbs
And a family rock pooling ๐ฆ
