"Bluesky asks about which server to use on registration" No he doesn't ask, you're wrong. And there is no single one alternative server where we can register

It's not very prominent, but the Android mobile app does have the option to change what server you register on. https://ibb.co/s9pzTt3k https://ibb.co/s9pzTt3k You can tap on the bold "Bluesky Social" text to change it. > And there is no single one alternative server where we can register and interact with people on bsky.app You absolutely can host a PDS that interacts flawlessly with the rest of the network. I host my own.

  You're right, when I tried again the field was hidden behind a link. Last time I checked (sometime last month) it was a field that defaulted to bsky.social (maybe within the account name?). Or I could be misremembering. In any case, my previous comment is wrong indeed.

    Yeah - technically the same button, but with a slightly more subtle treatment. People were getting confused by it and bouncing. IMO, since it's only really useful if you already know what you're doing and already have a PDS ready to go, there's no harm making the first-time experience smoother. This is all totally going to change when OAuth rolls out, so hopefully we can find a better compromise then.
