Oh my god, this feature is so terribly thought out, especially on mobile, and even more especially because I get three notifications per edit, and the most especially because all the notifications are delayed.

Stunning quote in this report from The New York Times about Meta’s plans to add facial recognition to their Ray-Bans:
"We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns."

I think it’s time to elevate the Atmosphere branding as ‘your everything-account for the Internet’.
Bluesky is not “the last social identity you’ll ever have to create”, your Atmosphere identity is.
Bluesky = one of many Google apps

my initial though is that if we expand the PDS account manager and have most major account actions take place there, it could help.
eg, similar to how youtube would probably direct you to google accounts for full account deletion, and then it is clear that impact goes beyond youtube

The frustrating thing about this is that when you "Login with Bluesky", you're not even actually logging in with Bluesky The App.
You may be using a Bluesky PBC-hosted PDS, but it has nothing to do with @bsky.app, other than it's the PDS you're assigned when you create an account on their client.

This is the natural conclusion of the "Login with Bluesky" argument.
People make apps where only Bluesky users can login.

Looking around the codebase, "bsky.social" is hardcoded all over the place. You should be resolving the DID yourself, then fetching the PDS and using that as the endpoint base, as this will cause problems for those not hosted on bsky.social 😊
