Bluesky is working on a fix. They have a global identity system where you can move all your data (posts, likes, followers, blocks) to another instance if you get banned. The only thing that changes is your handle.
I love controversy.

Valve has a pretty unique flat structure that could protect them from a corporate buyout, even more if Gaben decides to transfer ownership into an employee trust and turn it into a full co-op when he leaves.
Mint is very opinionated and made explicitly for less technical users. If you have basic command line skills (or you’re willing to learn) Fedora gives you more choice and in my experience it’s actually more reliable than Debian based distros.
This gives me an idea. Make a federated torrent site. It would be practically impossible to take down and one instance going offline because they don’t have money wouldn’t destroy everything like in RARBG’s case.
Bluesky has a global identity system where instance accounts are just links to a DID (basically your private key). If you get banned from an instance you have to change your name but you keep all your posts and likes.
These are all fast, violent and kind of similar to each other:
Bluesky is working on persistent identity with a DNS based scheme. You still have instance accounts but they’re optional and posts reference DIDs so getting kicked out won’t break mentions.
You can’t be both a small community and replace for profit social networks. I thought the point of all this was the second one.
