The Atmosphere is explicitly meant to offer alternatives to *centralized censorship* though - see atmosphereaccount.com Saying you "shouldn't have to" isn't helpful. People living in war zones and having to leave shouldn't have to do that either. The point is to have the choice.

What other platform(s) offer such a choice? None. Because they are centralized by design. Yes, the majority of people "would ALL have to move in order to bypass the centralized censorship" but it is EXCEEDINGLY easy it is to do that. Switching "AppViews" is swapping one app download for another

Migrating an account off bsky.social to e.g. blacksky.community takes <30* minutes for most and there's 3 nice options to do it: pdsmoover.com move.eurosky.tech move.blacksky.community *I just migrated from selfhosted.social to aster.id, so 30 minutes was bc I was teaching people while migrating
