It was also in comic sans font so my dense self was thinking the post was about that 😬. Was 100% not the intent and thank y'all for pointing it out.

Another benefit there is if Bluesky bans you from their AppView they many also ban your account since they control both, but that may not be the case if the independent PDS does not ban you if you do not break their terms of service.

Can also use pdsmoover.com/backups to preserve your identity and public data.

But yes, that's true to an extend if we are talking about Bluesky. No matter the PDS because they control the Bluesky AppView. There are low cost alternatives like reddwarf.app that allows you to still interact with bsky

Usually ends up being a personal preference. Some users rather have one based in a different Jurisdiction, may trust another provider with their data, or could be different moderation/terms of service. More of an overview of how it all works, but this may help

OH. I apologize. I did not mean for that to happen. I am sorry about that y'all.

In my defense, I did say we're not all designers >.>

As for data persistence. We do nightly backups via a snap shots and PDS MOOver takes auto backups of repos and blobs every 4 hours. Hopefully that helps, and if you're still nervous about it let me know if I can help any. Here is also a list of other open PDSs

Fair enough! For longevity, we have a solution because I believe your identity is yours and yours only. I plan on being here for a long time but with PDS MOOver if you setup a rotation key and backups on migration your identity and data is fully recoverable if anything ever happens to us.

If you'd like to migrate your account over, then we recommend using PDS MOOver since it supports the captcha. Can use it via this link
