Especially when there are far deeper problems rooted in the protocol and the architecture of major fediverse apps that, so far, people have refused to correct.

So long as those are unfixed and so long as expectations here are not better managed we're going to have this problem again.

and again.

So if we don't want to keep having this same conversation we have real work to do, and this behavior like what we saw yesterday will—at absolute best—only get in the way.

@hrefna The ironic part is that ATP actually solved a lot of those shortcomings of AP. It gives you (in theoery, federation has yet to start) as a user much more control over who gets to access your data and allows you to take your data wherever you see fit, which is still not and probably will not be possible on AP.
As of now you can already host your own PDS and use it with bsky.
