atproto is designed such that you can migrate to a new provider in an adversarial scenario. I don't really see what more could be done

They could make it easier to migrate, I think. Or offer alternate hosts when signing up.

oh there are many things *bluesky* could do, but @ponder.ooo characterized this as a problem with atproto's design and I don't agree with that

i mean i can migrate to another provider but what i get from that is seemingly quite little: i get to keep having an account on other atproto stuff even if i get banned here. but i could already do that by just not using one unified account for all these apps in the first place

i could try to find a different pds host to be beholden to that might be less weenie-ish about my posting, or just self-host. that seems like a pointless hassle when bsky is still the primary hub of social activity on this protocol

seems better to just treat my "atmosphere handle" as just "my bsky account" and just use wholly different accounts for anything else i want to do, even if it's on the atmosphere

Atproto was designed by people who think decentralization means hosting location instead of administrative power and have reacted to any attempt to point that out by abusing the latter. Good luck fixing it now.

this feels like part of the design (ideally, you """simply""" run your own pds!) but yeah it does create a fucked up serf caste, of which i at least remain a part from simple laziness

it isn't enough; they just !takedown you, you disappear from relay/appview. You have to run your own parallel infrastructure *and get people to use it instead of theirs* to make any traction on this.

wait if they !takedown you, you can't fuckin use tangled?
