i deactivated my bluesky account (for the reasons in the blog post!) and it turns out that deactivated my entire PDS, even though i'm on eurosky. that was unexpected -- bluesky still seems pretty tightly linked to one's PDS, unfortunately.

Bluesky is separate from you own PDS, it function as a separate PDS in this regard: You can have multiple PDS with active accounts on them, but only one PDS is authoritative, the one that your DID document (either did:plc or did:web) points to. You can login to those PDS separately with e.g. goat.

And deactivate accounts on PDS that you do not need anymore (e.g. Bluesky PDS). But it looked like you accidentally deactivated the account on eurosky, not the Bluesky PDS. You need to manually specify the Bluesky PDS when using goat after migrating an account. I wrote a bit about my journey ->
