reminder that you can always revoke oauth access at bsky.social/account (also a good place to check for apps you forgot you logged in to !)

Bluesky social oauth scope "Bad token scope"
I'm trying to build an app that integrates with bsky's OAuth and API. Using the below the document using the "Browser App" option. https://docs.bsky.app/docs/advanced-guides/oauth-client ...
app.bsky.notification.getPreferences | Bluesky
*This endpoint is part of the Bluesky application Lexicon APIs (`app.bsky.*`). Public endpoints which don't require authentication can be made directly against the public Bluesky AppView API: https://public.api.bsky.app. Authenticated requests are usually made to the user's PDS, with automatic service proxying. Authenticated requests can be used for both public and non-public endpoints.*

storm.leaflet.pub3) it still doesn't fully cover all use cases well or at all 4) bsky.app still didn't manage to implement OAuth at all Yes, we should all be moving to OAuth w/ scopes, that's the goal, but give people some slack, it's all still rather fresh, we'll get there… (yes, it's me, I'm those people)
also it is completely bonkers that @bsky.app requires you to select a "Hosting Provider" on login and i have to remember whatever @eurosky.social's address is. guys, if you want this decentralization thing to happen, it should not suck so much to use! the Bluesky app should just read it from my DID
The frustrating thing about this is that when you "Login with Bluesky", you're not even actually logging in with Bluesky The App. You may be using a Bluesky PBC-hosted PDS, but it has nothing to do with @bsky.app, other than it's the PDS you're assigned when you create an account on their client.
You can sign up for @inspo.land with your bluesky account! under the hood it creates a new private PDS using bsky for auth still a bit finicky sometimes, so lmk if you run into any issues!
