If you don't own the domain your content is served from, you have nothing. With control of the domain there will always be some way to redirect or migrate, but without that, you'll always be at the mercy of the domain owner. I don't know if there were any alternate proposals, but it is a shame of internet history web and email weren't focused on domain ownership first, with different subdomains proxied/routed to other services.

It’s apparent that design decisions are made keeping Musk in mind. I won’t be surprised if a lot of people have blocked Musk on X as they don’t want to see propaganda being spewed. And, he wants them to see it. I cannot think of any other reason why this decision was made. Are there any?
Title of this article is total b.s (although so was flagging this on HN).<p>However, the tool it mentions is pretty cool and frankly I'm surprised it even works considering Twitter shut down APIs a while back. I just tried it out and it helped me connect with over 200 folks on Bluesky that I'd been following on Twitter that I didn't know had migrated. Pretty handy... while it lasts.
