3rd party clients would be able to get around this easily, but how did this work in twitter days? (I only joined Twitter in 2022, shortly after 3p clients were killed by Elon) right now anyone can setup a Bluesky AppView or Relay, and connect it to their own apps which would bypass all of this, it's just that no other major players have so pretty much 99% of users will rely on Bluesky's ones def an issue though, but it should sprout some other people spinning up their own atproto infra i hope 🤞
