If the format is clearly defined, that's literally all that matters for data to be useful. In the event they shut down, it only takes a single solo developer to make it trivial to browse your content.
Physical data is difficult to preserve. Digital in open, clearly defined formats is not.
Looks like we talking about different things. You just want a list of all your comments? To what end? Note taking? Nostalgia?
I'm talking about a social media account without a social media network. All you can do is format shift the data to have a record. You cant use it for what it was designed for in the bluesky framework.
Yes, your content. That's the only thing anyone ever claimed you keep and the only part that would make any sense to have value. It makes it incredibly simple to make that history available elsewhere, and it's incredibly likely that a future platform that emerges will facilitate that process, just like all the book platforms let you import from goodreads.
Its not incredibly likely you can import social media from one network to another.
It has never been supported by any social media network, and bluesky's architecture is such that the only people that can host it are giant orgs like mega corps, who are profit driven and who want lockin, not portability.
You're hoping it works out, but without an example of viability, it's just conjecture that this is a real or even valuable feature.
It's a virtual certainty, because you control the information.
The lack of imports has nothing to do with the new places not wanting it and everything to do with the old place holding your data hostage. Having a clean, formally defined source of your data is all it takes to make building an import from a popular network trivial.
