People may disagree with how BlueSky is organized and architected, but I get why they decided to do what they did. User experience.
Their architectural decisions mean that people don’t have to worry about instances confusing people, and the org structure means is easy to staff a proper dedicated experience team that can be working, planning, and testing before big expensive decisions are committed to code.
The project was started as an architectural thought experiment, not with the goals and limitations of the end user.
Most internet users have no idea what it is.
To party
Whenever Lemmy or Masto gets a flood of new users, a portion of them never make it past the instance selection and totally bail.
The user experience was designed by people who literally respond to user feedback by telling users to commit new code to the project.
It’s clearly designed by engineers who assume other users will be just like them.
THREE DAY NO POOP CHALLENGE
Crazy thing is that I can actually by two 16 / 256 Mac Mini’s for the price of one 32 / 512 Mini.
I expect Apple’s upgrade pricing to be stupid and inflated, but this is straight up silly. And a 256 drive is going to be downright problematic for people.
Ok, but the piece is about plays for people who want to play the retro physical media formats. It isn’t about people asking for new smaller disk or cassette media.
Ahh, that makes more sense
