So happy to finally introduce a super cool tool I made for @sprk.so:
Airport ✈️
It makes AT Protocol migrations between PDS servers available to anyone with a simple web interface.

Check it out at atpairport.com
Star it on Github at github.com/knotbin/airport

Airport

Airport is an AT Protocol PDS Migration Tool that allows you to seamlessly migrate your account from one PDS to another.

@pfrazee.com and his bluesky-pds-using lackeys kind of mess this up

i really wish i could say this is one of the most brainrotted things ive said but that would be a lie

Anyways, can't wait!

ATproto magic right here. You can leave and lose nothing.
Guys its happening 🥹

Juke Slytalker @blackskyeddie.blacksky.app · 1d

And this just reminded me about the thing I've always hated about social media platforms and I'm migrating my account to blacksky.

I've already had this happen once when Elon took over. Lost a lot of content and followers. I'm not doing it again.

Suspension of accts from Bluesky has called into question the mission and very existence of Blacksky. "If bsky can still suspend you, what's the point?"

For one usually Bluesky doesn't just suspend you. They delete all of your data AND suspend you. Moving to Blacksky prevents that. 4/11

Rudy is just too good of a person and too good of an engineer not to do this.
But don't let this be it.
We as a community can never leave one person or organization holding the bag.

Rudy wants revolution. @rude1.blacksky.team · 1d

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

Cutover window sucks though. Would love if that was automatically handled for me.

Nothing to add, really loved the goals you put. Backfill in TS is honestly not that hard if you structure your indexer the way Bluesky’s appview does. You can just do indexRepo for each repo and it automatically goes through all your plugins

i was actually thinking this is the way donation based atproto services can actually get donations

Roscoe Rubin-Rottenberg @knotbin.com · 2d

full alternative appview and client for it. backend completely independent from bluesky

Roscoe Rubin-Rottenberg @knotbin.com · 2d

@airportline.sprk.so I FINALLY GOT IT
DIGITALOCEAN BLOCKS COMMON SMTP PORTS so the emails were erroring even though I was doing everything right. It should work now.

Yeah there’s clearly still something wrong with the email sending. I’ll look at it when I get back to a computer in like 30 minutes.

Roscoe Rubin-Rottenberg @knotbin.com · 2d

Jack hasn’t been at all involved with bsky for over 2 years. He has officially cut ties with it and holds no ownership stake.
