Bluesky is using content addressing to deal with this, although currently it is only built around feeds and not forums. Your profile is truly portable and posts can optionally be retrieved from "mirrors" (one of the CDN-like servers called BGS) so you don't need to rely on your current hosting server (the account hosts called PDS) to federate with everybody.
