Totally! Wonder what happened to his account @btao.org – it's still linked from @moribot.bsky.social

pdsls.devbtao.org (did:plc:rkagcldecxf64optplrqkhwl)Hosted on eurosky.social

This account got manually deactivated by the owner, it seems -> pdsls.dev/at://did:plc...

This is interesting, since there are still active links to both @tangled.org and @bsky.app on their home page -> btao.org And there is still @standard.site boiler plate inside the homepage.

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 ->

Note that this document is a bit old and outdated, but most things still apply, also goat is extremely useful as a "last resort" tool, that always works.

i only have the one PDS! i migrated to eurosky a while ago and deactivated the original PDS back then. i meant that if you go to the bsky.app settings and hit "deactivate account", it will deactivate your entire PDS -- not just the bluesky parts.
