if, for WHATEVER REASON, blacksky were to shutdown or disappear tomorrow, YOU COULD MOVE YOUR ACCOUNT BACK TO BLUESKY OR ANOTHER SERVER WITH NO DOWNTIME that's the difference between atproto (bluesky/blacksky) and twitter: you OWN your account/data
Question then… If blacksky happens to shut down, because it’s connected to bluesky, would my bluesky malfunction? This is all i need to kno before migrating my account I’m a bit confused how there’s a whole new logo & website if it’s technically bluesky I just can’t afford for my art to disappear
you don't need to make a new account you can use @move.blacksky.community to migrate your bluesky account to blacksky; it'll keep your followers, posts, and everything associated with your account intact more info on the official blacksky docs: docs.blacksky.community/info-about-b...

Boston legend Ethan Marcotte, creator of Responsive Web Design and author of You Deserve A Tech Union, joins Bluesky’s Jim Ray on the Off Protocol podcast this week.
Had an absolutely *wonderful* time chatting with my old friend @jimray.bsky.team about uncertainty: how to plan for it, how to design for it, and—especially when struggling with it at work—how to repair it.
be sure to call your senators and such with 5calls.org and www.badinternetbills.com but remember this is a MARK UP and also remember even if it passes through the mark up the senate will be in recess until sep 14th but if we can stop kosa and screen act at the committee then lets do it!
5 Calls
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.
REMINDER TO MAKE YOUR CALLS TO THE SENATE COMMERCE BEFORE WEDNESDAY AUGUST 5TH!! KOSA AND THE SCREEN ACT WILL BE MARKED UP. WE NEED TO BLOW UP THESE PHONES YALL. #KidsOnlineSafetyAct #KOSA #freespeech #ageverification www.badinternetbills.com

A lovely interview with the newish Bluesky CEO, @toni.bsky.team! I'm optimistic for the future of the platform and for AT Protocol as a whole. I think their support of devs and other projects on the ecosystem is only getting better, which is awesome.
