Well, actually, kinda, yeah, close to what happened. It's not for nothing that Jack Dorsey, who started the place and was on its board, basically ran away when the trans folks and furries scared off all the crypto bros he assumed would be the natural demographic here (they went to Nostr instead).

For the record I think the architecture stuff is cool and also what eventually will flummox any attempt to make Bluesky more fascist-friendly, since if Bluesky runs that direction people can (theoretically) decamp to federated services (relatively) painlessly and keep going like nothing happened.

and indeed many of us have already done that, seamlessly transitioning to eg @eurosky.social from which we continue to post but from and to non-US servers

Just out of curiosity, and me having no clue about the thing you talked about: So you can transfer your account to European servers, but you still are using Bluesky like I do now, or is that a totally different thing?

This sounds great, Chris. Excuse my total ignorance but: how do I actually do this??

All explained here. I’m not especially techy but was able to follow the instructions without too much trouble. eurosky.tech/accounts/mig...

I’ve done similar, but would like readers to know digital sovereignty is > than EU hosting. The data is still accessible globally, the US can still use the CLOUD act or FISA to demand access and it’s VERY hard for local providers to say no. See this as e.g www.google.com/search?q=can...

Is it an easy transfer when using your own domain Chris?

Yes, I had to tweak a couple of settings but my hand was held through the process.

Thanks, I think I'll jump🙏🏻
