> Why is this necessary? The likelihood of a server just randomly disappearing is incredibly low. There are community standards and things like the Mastodon Server Covenant that make this essentially a non-issue.

I literally read about a case over a month ago where some obscure Mastodon-server admin blocked someone's account on their server so it was impossible to move to another instance. The motivation was "I don't want capitalist here, can change my mind for money" (slightly paraphrasing). Basically, it's stupid to use any Mastodon instance other than the few largest one or your own.

That's why BlueSky's approach makes sense.
