Also, do they know that Jack Dorsey helped found Bluesky?

Apparently I didn't believe in my PDS enough, because my account's data server went down before BlueSky's did.

The ESA is an association of entertainment software companies (video games, mostly,) so they represent their member companies.

It can’t always know that is correct. It uses a protocol to allow for portability of data, so if another site uses that data format and it then moves to Bluesky, there’s no way to verify the time stamp.

With my profile being on a PDS, there’s multiple servers involved, one of which I control.

Already used to feeling old, here.

His handle is @smallant.live.

Such a person that also attached that second domain would become @smallant.co.uk. However, the domain name system allows for challenges based on trademarks.

Some of us also operate PDSs, (github.com/bluesky-soci...) meaning we store our own data. That I would expect to slightly reduce costs for bluesky as once I start posting, that data is stored on my server (as I operate one).
