Comment on What do you think about centralised clients?

I’ve been using phtn.app, which defaults to lemm.ee.
Though I think a big difference between the fediverse/activitypub and bluesky/atproto is authentication. If you want a centralized app, you gotta have a centralized identity server. Otherwise you’re freely giving your login credentials to a random server, which we as a society decided was a bad idea.
I can see a possible solution involving OAuth, which I believe Mastodon is able to support. See the relevant GitHub issue at LemmyNet/lemmy#1368

Hey! I never agreed to that! I love playing fast and loose with internet security. You KNOW this about me! And I’ll stop giving my super secure password of Password1 to insecure servers when my heart stops beating.

Yeah, bluesky and mastodon both use oauth.You can also give your username and password to a bluesky app, and until recently, a mastodon one.
