Paging #Medsky…. You can now experience a whole atmosphere of healthcare workers on medsky.social. And as of today, we’re officially opening the doors of our new PDS, powered by @blackskyweb.xyz’s Acorn system. Follow the link below to transfer your account and get a new .medsky.network handle!

So, let's pretend I'm a medical person but don't know what a PDS is (In this context at least - I've sewn with PDS before...). What's the practical difference from the user side if I migrate?

Think about it like an email service. If you have a gmail account, all your data is hosted by Google. If you have a icloud account, all your data is hosted by Apple. Migrating lets accounts on the Atmosphere like yours choose where your data is hosted. Different services offer different benefits.

For example, on @blackskyweb.xyz & Blacksky hosted servers like Medsky, there's larger video size limits than the 3 min limit on Bluesky (although you'd need to access communities domains like medsky.social to view those videos. Our PDS also uses moderation to target medical misinformation.
