(And don't feel *too* smug about this, because I'm in the process of implementing Fediverse Oauth, and although the *UX* there is straightforward, the implementation side is… … less so)
Okay so when I complained above about Bluesky apps having you put in your password instead of OAUTHing on your PDS as they should— my offender #1 was Bluesky/Blacksky Social.
It turns out Blacksky fixed this literally this morning, six hours before I posted,
and the reason it didn't work when I tested it was my PDS hadn't picked up an update yet.
It works now.
…although I regret the error, this one might not be my fault 🤷♀️
