Soon! We’re testing the new migration tool and 🤞 we’ll go full steam on sending out invites.

You should enter your old account details. It will auto find your previous PDS, logins if that account is still active & deactivates it.

Okay! So it turns out this is a recurring bug that happens in specific circumstances. Thankfully @baileytownsend.dev has made a fix specifically for it.

It’s here pdsmoover.com/turn-off

Will do asap

we're working on it! Sorry. It seems like it's a recurring issue with some migrations.
February 16, 2026 at 6:01 PM
we tried one fix on our side but it doesn't seem to be working. will update when we've found another solution
February 16, 2026 at 6:00 PM
Yes it is, it looks like there is a stale repo of his account on the old PDS and it might be doing a local lookup first when you try to reply
February 16, 2026 at 5:54 PM
Hello! Can you check if it's been resolved?
February 16, 2026 at 4:39 PM
Oh this is strange, thanks for flagging. We’ll liaise with Bluesky and hopefully resolve this soon.
February 15, 2026 at 9:41 PM
Whatever, goodbye
February 15, 2026 at 4:11 PM
We have repos on gh. Not cool either?
February 15, 2026 at 3:12 PM
“Euro-washing” seriously? And what a .tech domain and you’re implying we like tax heavens?
February 15, 2026 at 3:11 PM
We’re a small team with a ton of things that need to be done and we prioritize.

Cloudflare. Yeah we wanted to use a European service (through a server/cloud provider we want to use) and we’ve been trying to get past the simple hurdle that they require a VAT number to even create an account. We don’t have a VAT number because we’re a non-profit foundation.

IPv6 - maybe you could ask or offer to help before making technical judgments. There are well known issues with IPv6 and docker.
February 15, 2026 at 3:09 PM
I am assuming you are using an Android or iOS phone, again.

The vast majority of the time when you me or almost anyone else pays for anything online it goes through visa/mastercard and it’s… a US company
February 15, 2026 at 3:09 PM
My French isn’t what it used to be so I a replying in French.

Yes Namecheap, frankly the choice of registrar or not a priority. Imagining that we can disentangle all tech from the US or even that it’s a good idea, doesn’t make sense. We’re writing this on a US platform by the way.

The link between Mandelson, Blair/TBI and all the Labour Together people who ended up in government making decisions about tech contracts needs much more scrutiny too.

Hi everyone - we have a new migration tool that should make the process much easier. We’re testing it and once we know it’s working well, we’ll send invitations much faster. 🙏
February 14, 2026 at 11:15 PM
that wasn't clear sorry. Pre-registered, so not on PDS yet.
February 13, 2026 at 3:23 PM
Then we can confidently onboard thousands and be able to support if any problems happen. We're expecting the numbers to go to the 10s of thousands over the coming months so need to be read for each scaling stage.
