The issues you describe are integral parts of decentralized protocols, and they can't be solved by technology. The reason Bluesky does not have these problems is because they are de facto centralized. No confusion of choosing servers if there's only one server, right?

On Mastodon, you can set up an automatic forwarding so your followers automatically follow your new account, they don't even notice you have switched instances if they don't look closely at your handle.
- elfprince13 2y agoMastodon migration is not atomic and requires the instance you are migrating from to remain operational (and non-adversarial) long enough for all of your friends' instances to notice you have moved and update their contacts. It doesn't preserve your follows. On Bluesky you just need to push your repo onto a new PDS and sign a new DID telling the network which PDS has your data. Everything else is seamless and atomic.
