  • Is this an actual question or projection? Personally, that would be unlikely. My view is that, while an individual, I'm part of a community. As such I have a personal obligation to serve that community. I do this to set an example in the hopes that others will do the same. It happens to work. The only way it wouldn't would be if everyone is a selfish asshole. In that case, I would do it anyway and probably more. Be the change you want to see in the world.

  • Companies like google, facebook, and apple typically have better security. Other companies know that so rather than contracting with another third party or implementing themselves, they use oauth.

    With oauth, apple, google, microsoft etc. will vouch for you. There are advantages and drawbacks, with, imo, the drawbacks outweighing the benefits. Key benefit being better security over poor practices and convenience. Drawbacks being less control of your accounts, consolidating your credentials into one basket, (especially if you use weak authorization), and the potential (likely) situation those accounts are monitored

  • It depends on who you mean by "we". I don't think the "we", as in the users of Bluesky would want their posts to be used this way. Yes it's transparent and accessible, but only to the technically inclined who can make use of it.

    I wonder how much more The Matrix references become relevant. We become food for the machines whether they tell us so or not.
