[KevinMarks] Interesting atproto guestbook that is a bit webmention like https://nekomimi.leaflet.pub/3m6pcklmvt222

[Kupietz] Wow. That's a really cool idea. But—and forgive my ignorance, I know little about Bluesky—is there a point at which Bluesky storing all of your data about interactions with other sites across the internet become a Facebook-like danger to your privacy? Or isn't there a central organization behind Bluesky?

#
[Kupietz] The next question is, when you're not hosting data that appears on your website, how do you prevent spam?
#
[capjamesg] I have a similar question around privacy. Do all posts have to appear in the AT Proto firehose?

[tantek] Ya this seems fragile compared to webmentions. No thanks

gRegor what is PDS
#
Loqi PDS is an abbreviation for Personal Data Server, a part of federation in Bluesky's AT Protocol network; Bridgy Fed acts as a PDS https://indieweb.org/PDS
#
gRegor In theory at least, your data is supposed to be more portable ^. Not super familiar, but I get the impression it's still kind of difficult
#
[tantek] Exactly, it's non trivial and I suspect 99.99% fo bsky users will never migrate
#
[artlung] here
#
[artlung] https://docs.blacksky.community/migrating-to-blacksky-pds-complete-guide
#
[artlung] that appears to be a data export + import process. presumably there are asterisks on the side effects.
#
[capjamesg] https://www.eurosky.tech/ is interesting too.
#
[capjamesg] Ooh I like this phrasing “The future of social media is about you not an app” https://eurosky.tech/blog/3mgnjewfva22q/

#
[tantek] What is account migration?
#
Loqi account migration (AKA account portability, or the ability to move your account) is a specific kind of migration when a user switches from using one account on a particular server to using another account on another server, typically when both servers host multiple accounts, and has the common problem of losing followers https://indieweb.org/account_migration
#
[tantek] account migration << TODO: need new "Bluesky" section with alternatives like [[Blacksky]] and [[Eurosky]], links: https://docs.blacksky.community/migrating-to-blacksky-pds-complete-guide https://eurosky.tech/blog/3mgnjewfva22q/ and or link to [[Bluesky#How_to_migrate_from]] with options/links there
#
Loqi ok, I added "TODO: need new "Bluesky" section with alternatives like [[Blacksky]] and [[Eurosky]], links: https://docs.blacksky.community/migrating-to-blacksky-pds-complete-guide https://eurosky.tech/blog/3mgnjewfva22q/ and or link to [[Bluesky#How_to_migrate_from]] with options/links there" to the "See Also" section of /account_migration https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=109786&oldid=102236

#
[tantek] Moving here from #indieweb - wonder if it would be worth requesting the http://surf.social folks support Microsub server APIs so any social reader could use their aggregation support (instead of being forced to use their specific web front end)
#
[capjamesg] Talking of Micropub earlier makes me think an IG Stories-style Micropub client would be nice.
