p.s. This seems like a good moment to thank @Gargron@mastodon.social
Obviously I disagreed with his recent stance on server onboarding, but that isn't an attack on his overall achievements.
For me Eugen's best moment was in 2022 when he was asked to sell out by multiple VC companies but he said no:
"Rochko told the Financial Times he had received offers from more than five US-based investors (which he turned down)"

He passed the test that others (including Bluesky) have failed.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @Gargron@mastodon.social I remain baffled that easier account migration still isn't on their roadmap. Other fedi services, such as *key servers, implement the functionality to import content archives as well as take followers with you if you change instances. There's no technical barrier to Eugen doing the same.
Having one big onboarding server wouldn't be such a problem if users could hop around the fedi without having to painstakingly rebuild all their previous posting history and interactions. 🤷🏻♂️
