BlueSky users: Guess I’ll just come back later
The end
Stop believing that it will convince people to switch to the less user friendly alternative. You want users on your service? You make it as easy to use as possible. No instances bullshit, one page to sign up and access it from a browser, multiple apps to access it using the same credentials.
The. Same. As. Centralized. Websites.
Make the experience the same as a centralized service, decentralize the backend as much as you want, users don’t give a fuck about that.
Potentially dumb question - are there any other instances?
Nope. Blue sky makes it hard for just anybody to spin up a server and join their network
They just made a fancy CDN, splitting up some of the backend components and decided to call that “decentralization”. Im very sad that the same mistake is being made again. Its exactly like the early days of twitter and look where that led.
What’s a good mastodon client for iOS?
