Really hope to see a much easier sign up workflow.

The idea could be an automatically assigned server geographically. The user puts in their username. Click continue which then completes the sign up flow on the assigned server geographically. Similar to how #bluesky does it.

It's really important to make the sign up as easy as possible to get over the #NetworkingEffect

@binford2k @fale thx.

It's always about "#NetworkingEffect" and how both ecosystems (regardless if APIs in HTTP(S), S3-compatible Object Storage or GSM-based mobile networks) and thus standards get established.

• Rarely the technologically superior ones (i.e. CDMA / IS-95, Iridium) get dominant and capital won't necessarily guarantee success (i.e. Joyn, Horizon Worlds, Decentraland).

Oftentimes it's the one that is available to everyone (i.e. SMS, SEPA, girocard) or the most convenient one (i.e. PayPal vs. wero; Monero vs. Bitcoin) or the most globally accessible one (i.e. PayPal vs. WeChat Pay vs. AliPay vs. CashApp vs. Venmo vs. prepaid-based microbanking vs. klarna)...

• Small people think in protocols (i.e. Signal), big corporations think in Ecosystems (i.e. NSAbooj), Professionals think both and add decentralization, self-hosting capabilities and open standardization to it (i.e. XMPP)...
