Everything is a priority. And that's just 1 project.

It doesn't take nine years to fix something like this, and if it took that long to recognize it as a priority then they don't know what they are doing.

But this kind of broken UX matters to most nontechnical users; it drives them away.

Note how this doesn't affect Bluesky or other services that use similar https: links. That's because unlike fedi the address that handles the UI and logins is centralized (i.e. 'bsky.app').

They're always broken, which I think is why they're rare.

Anyone who clicks on that link will end up at the wrong place. The 'ec.socialnetwork.europa.eu' web server won't recognize your fedi login, and if you use a native fedi app, there's no way for that link to take you to it.

Fedi is like email, but didn't copy email's 'mailto:' protocol definition, allowing smooth UX across different sites and apps.

Yeah right. Only one of the mentioned corps isn't controlled by Trump loyal US billionaires.
Unlikely that the EU finds out what's wrong with that.
