It should be noted that, at least for now, account migration can only go one way. That is, from the main Bluesky PDS to an external one. According to the documentation on account migration[0], they plan to enable incoming migrations at some point in the future, but there's no timeline.
I'm sure a big reason for this the possibility for abuse, since "migrating" an account is a different action than simply "creating" a new one
Similarly, I've used a project called nixos-infect(1) to install NixOS on cloud providers that don't natively offer it. It's worked well on the handful of boxes I've ran it on.
Honestly, I like the idea behind the feature. Sure, I could (and probably should!) be more proactive with my bookmarks, or otherwise saving content I find interesting.
But the fact is, I don't. If something like this (with negligible enough compute/storage impacts) could be implemented locally, I would probably buy into it. I'm sure it would be "better" with a larger model, but as a jumping-off point for finding something I saw or read about prior, I think a locally available model would suffice.
Trusting Microsoft (or Apple, OpenAI, etc.) with this information for a "better" AI model is not a trade-off I'd personally find acceptable.
It's not very prominent, but the Android mobile app does have the option to change what server you register on.

You can tap on the bold "Bluesky Social" text to change it.
> And there is no single one alternative server where we can register and interact with people on bsky.app
You absolutely can host a PDS that interacts flawlessly with the rest of the network. I host my own. There's an entire section in the README about self-hosting: https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds?tab=readme-ov-file#sel...
