Whereas if Bluesky went evil tomorrow only the “acquired a weariness” part would happen, given that it's straightforward to move to a new PDS and take the entirety of your personal data and social connections with it.

I very much think that going evil is not a switch that happens over night. There are always signs or leading indicators there. If Bluesky starts showing those signs, we will start putting in effort to de-risk the network. The dev community is strong

And the app view? You can take your data, can take everyone else’s that you follow?

  • The appviews are interchangeable; any appview will work with any PDS. Whatever appviews my followers and followees end up using, they'd still be able to see my posts, and I'd still be able to see theirs.
