Still slows down some of their other goals. Attention and resources aren't infinite. The more they wear themselves thin on things that don't matter / have less bad outcomes, the better

Related note: There are some good vegan eggs out there to give a try!

If you want something that cooks and bakes like eggs there's stuff you can by like Just Egg

For baking there's a million things you can use that are pretty cheap. For instance, Aquafaba is the leftover water from cooking chickpeas or the water in the can if you buy it canned. Acts like egg whites and can be used as a binder for baking

I hope that is satire because this is letting you map the key to other stuff

I'm also going be real that this is also the least of my concerns for a platform. If they make some people change their handle that don't need to, it really isn't a massive deal in the grand scheme of things. Especially since when handles are changed on Bluesky, all the references to that handle also change because they have a constant ID for all accounts. Impersonations leading people to scams is a much larger issue

? Did you read what the article? The change here is pretty minor and just reserving the @name.bsk.social if they verify with a domain to something like @domain.tld

Now, users that verify their account by linking their domain name get to automatically keep the default @username.bsky.social username

There are other app views in the works from other people, but yes in the current state it is rather centralized. That's why I started off saying it was semi-decentralized. I wasn't claiming it was super decentralized

YouTube does have 8k support and a handful of 8k videos

It's actually more so the other way around. The backend (PDS and relays) is open source but I believe the AppView is not currently open source

I think that's a good part of it, to be honest. Plus I think also helps that Bluesky's handles look visually less confusing and unusual than the conventional double @ sign for the fediverse

@user.bsky.social vs @user@bsky.social

Plus other things like having starter packs

Who's now left Bluesky which is probably for the better given his views on a lot of things

I noticed that and deleted my post but the deletion probably hasn't federated just yet, sorry about that
