So I got this nifty new app called Pinksky today because I was bored and frontstuck. It’s supposed to compete with Bluesky’s adjacent Instagram competitor app Flashes, and it’s also built on top of the same shit Bluesky is, the AT Protocol.

I tried to log in, but it wouldn’t let me. So, in an attempt to troubleshoot the damned thing, I went to figure out wtf was wrong with my site configuration because I can’t log into Bluesky’s official app, either, but can log in via web just fine, so I figured it might be some kind of residual fuckup from when I tried to use Bridgyfed to sync my posts from the Fediverse with Bluesky and ended up joining Bluesky with Opensorceryy.co as my own domain via a series of extremely complicated fuckups I can’t quite recall because I was so goddamned tired at the time.

So an entire odyssey later that threatened to cost me an arm, a leg, upwards of $30 a month for shit I don’t want to use for a cloud server, and most likely my immortal soul somewhere in the fine print, I nuked the cloud server, and tried typing opensorceryy.co in the “domain” field on Pinksky instead of Opensorceryy.co as I had it before. Miraculously, that fucking fixed it. I tried it on the official Bluesky app. That did not work. Wtf, Bluesky?

I’m here, I’m queer, I’m posting bullshit? What the fuck do you mean “check my internet connection?” I literally posted five minutes ago. I was troubleshooting shit thirty seconds ago VIA THE DAMN INTERNET. I call bullshit.

I hate technology. I need a rubber duck to scream at at this point.

At least this hellsite has been backed up in fucking triplicate.
