  • I blame this on an UX blunder.

    Bluesky users are taught not to enter their Bluesky passwords to enter different apps, but rather create a different “app password” for each one. Then Frontpage went OAuth which directs users to Bluesky login page. Bluesky brings us a different login page for OAuth use :/ and obviously does not remember that we are already logged in in the same browser.

    This of course means that we have to enter a Bluesky password to a slightly different-looking website - a somewhat fishy way to authenticate a user…















  • PewDiePie posting on PeerTube will result with many of his videos being viewed on PeerTube. But either:

    • he would make an instance only for himself and majority of his viewers would fail to make a Fediverse account to follow him, or
    • he would open that instance for his viewers to make a account there, but then he would be liable for every comment made by his viewers, or
    • he would make an account on already existing instance, making a great burden of moderating his viewers for existing administration and moderation team.

    An entire network cannot be effectively marketed and accomodate a new users’ wave as well as any centralised website, like YouTube, or Bluesky.
