They should try nostr if they care about resisting censorship. At protocol doesn't even use keypairs logins
Discussion
ATProtocol does use keys, k256 key pairs by default. The PDS just puts a nanny password layer between the user and the keys, the same as the pseudo password thing that some Nostr clients once experimented with going back.
ATProtocol you can start off self-hosted and have full control of your DID and your keys. Or you can start off with their hosting and later pull out your repo and your keys.
No I can't dipshit, they banned me before "opening up federation"
And even if they've got my posts archived somewhere to let me have them back later, there is no longer any chance for me to keep up with the network's growth in maintenance of my mute lists and stuff. At protocol lost me by having me banned during that period of growth to stop me from keeping up on mute lists and stuff
If you started out on their hosting but you set up your did:web then you can still re-establish where else you want and pull your repo in, no matter your ban. Assuming there's anything valuable in the repo.
Sorry for insulting you
I doubt copies of my posts exist anymore, I don't remember any of the stuff you're talking about being there when I was there
I think they made sure to ban me before opening up any of the stuff you're talking about
This is a painful topic, I'm traumatized by my many internet bans and resultant level of isolation
