Old and busted: jaydgruber.bsky.social

New and awesome: jay.myatproto.social

Here on this server, I am just jay. Thanks, Blacksky Algorithms!

I have such a similar name to Jay Graber (@jay.bsky.team). @jay.bsky.social was not available when I created my account, but there does not appear to be an account with that username. Curious... But here on myatproto.social I can just be myself, no middle initial, no last name required.

Remember old internet, forum culture? Before the aggregators? Rushing into a thread to post "first!". This feels a little bit like that fleeting two seconds of joy.

I followed https://docs.blacksky.community/migrating-to-blacksky-pds-complete-guide to migrate. I used the tektite.cc migration tool. No hiccups, and within just a couple of minutes I was logged into leaflet.pub using the new PDS and username.
