So after you're banned from Bluesky you create another account on a different server and hope the admins of your original server, which still hosts all the people you want to follow, don't block your new account from interacting with their server?

You said it was different from Mastodon, but how is this different from Mastodon?

I have my own domain already attached, I can point it at any server and my identity on the network remains the same.

When you use a *.bsky.social handle, you have not made yourself independent and resilient to arbitrary decision by the org that manages that service

So that's the same as on Mastodon. What's the difference again?

		To be fair, with ActivityPub your account is always tied to a given server. However as you have rightly noticed, the person you are responding to here is being disingenuous. Controlling the account doesn't fix the fundamental issue caused by network effects. An account that can't interact with a large portion of the network is no different than Mastoson in practice. The Mastodon equivalent would be running your own single user instance which gets defederated by one of the big players.
