@louischance @weddige @evacide From a purely technical standpoint, AT Protocol is better than ActivityPub in terms of data portability. ATproto's decentralized design was engineered for this exact purpose, as an escape hatch so users could take their entire Personal Data Store and move to a new central relay if the ones owned by BlueSky go toxic due to investors and VC money.
For data portability on Mastodon's side, if your server disappears so does your data. If your admin decides they don't like you and bans your new account, you lose your data. If everything works exactly as intended, you still lose all of your posts. Meanwhile you can take every single post you've ever made to Twitter and import them to your BlueSky account, organized and back dated.
These are just technical details, without even going into Trust & Safety issues. Bsky has had growing pains and user conflicts with moderation, but they at least have full time moderators and robust safety tooling in the product. Mastodon is so far behind in both safety features and T&S governance that if it ever faced the threats that bsky currently deals with, it would probably collapse entirely.
