It's nice to see that bluesky is not immune to the fediverse habit of telling non-techie users that decentralization is easy. You just have to build your own app

Screenshot of a bluesky post from @jay.bsky.team on October 1st 2025 at 1:35pm that reads:

It would be wild if someone would build a social site where you could migrate away without losing all your connections if you didn't like the owner. Maybe even host your account on your own box, at home, so you could switch apps seamlessly or build your own. I think that would improve society.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://tomkahe.com/users/tom/statuses/115300607213428312 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
