sorry this is not open source. Who is behind it, what is their gain and how do I trust whatever they claim in their website?
Bluesky is another alternative, whilst not decentralized, its been pretty cool over there. I also have a mastodon account though
So what's the point? enshitification will inevitably hit them as well and then people will have to migrate again and again
I love the fediverse, but it hasn't fully solved the migration need problem. If I open an account on an instance which I later discover I don't like, I have to migrate for that as well.
The point as I see it is just limited to who do I want to follow, and what platforms can I use to do so? If bluesky turns to shit in a decade, but I get value out of it for that decade, maybe that's enough for my needs.
(FWIW, I am not on bluesky)
For Mastodon there's a feature for transferring your account from one server to another, with its history, etc.
Oh cool, is there anything similar for lemmy?
I haven't had to search it for lemmy, so I honestly don't know.
It's certainly possible. I'm giving it a shot. I prefer federated systems, as I said, I also have Mastodon
