How to leave if we ever go down

We have no plans of shutting down the PDS, but for your benefit, here are the rough steps to migrate your data to another PDS if we ever do:

0. Have custom keys in your did:plc or use a did:web.
1. Grab the files for your DID from the nightly backups S3 bucket.
2. Upload the CAR contents and the blobs to your new PDS.
3. Point your DID at the new PDS.
4. Update your handle if it was a subdomain of pds.witchcraft.systems.
