I mean, this might depend on who your intended audience is? As perhaps pie-in-the-sky my desire is, I'd like to see one of these things replace twitter (as opposed to smaller communities.)
And it seems to me that the more frictionless model is the one that looks like something people are used to; just "sign up with a thing."
That does leave the interconnection to the servers and others, but that may be how it has to be?
- iameli 1y agoBluesky is incredibly just "sign up with a thing." Except even easier, because you don't have to pick an instance first.
- jrm4 1y ago"Sign up with a thing" -- but then what about after that? You've made a bunch of stuff, what happens to it? Offloading THAT mentally to a different "service" or "account" I think is easier than this all-in-one thing. Again, I like the IDEA a lot; if you'd presented it to me like in 2000 before a lot of this stuff took off I would have been all about it. Today? No, I think it's reasonable to offload that to so-and-so-dot-com, each as a separate account. Like the phrase "I have a facebook" always sounds weird to ME, but I think that's "the way."
