   This apparently touched a nerve; I had no idea. Check the comment thread.

   My own major gripe with passkeys is that I could never find a simple straightforward explanation of what they were and how they were to be used. I have a decent understanding of asymmetric crypto and PKI and key exchange and JWT and so on, so if you can’t explain it to me, you have a big problem.

   @ossobuffo Well, yeah, see post #2 in the thread.

   My point is that storytelling has been almost aggressively •avoiding•. Compare, for example, the number of stories about WWI versus the number of stories about (even obliquely about) the 1918 influenza pandemic.

   If someone I follow posts a thread, I want to see only the *first* post in that thread on my timeline, but not the rest. If the first post catches my interest, I'll click through to view the whole thread.

   My problem is that when someone posts a large thread, it completely overwhelms my timeline. See the example below:

   @freemo yet again, building walled garden with a transparent wall is a formal, rather than functional difference, regardless of enforcement.

   I am reserving all judgement as to whether "your" or "their" walled garden is "better", so your arguments as to why it may be so aren't particularly relevant to this specific thread.

   My sole contention is that, based on personal observation, your proposal attracts a degree of ridicule and pushback by virtue of appearing to claim to "solve" the problem of walled gardens by implementing the problem differently. My recommendation is as simple as it is impossible; relinquish the oppositional mindset. Let "them" talk however they will of you. The difference of experience within your garden will be the only rebuttal of theirs you ever need to make.
