In my opinion, that is a worthy YSK because people don’t know that they can view and interact with Bluesky content without giving your data to an American for-profit entity.

    To simplify further, if Mastodon and Lemmy work like Email, ATproto words like RSS. Your PDS is like your own hosted blog. Bluesky is like an RSS reader that just reads everyone’s PDS data. If the RSS reader vanishes, your data is still there, you just have to make a new RSS reader to read the data

    Thanks for coming down to my level, appreciate it :)

      Oh yeah it’s not just you, ATproto is very different from our usual way of thinking. Took me a bit to wrap my head around it at first too
