This is a pretty great, long form post about the structure of Bluesky, and how it’s largely kinda pretending to be decentralized at the moment. I’m not trying to make a dig at it. I’ve enjoyed the platform myself for a while, but it’s good to learn more about how it actually works.

    I thought I read something that said one of the servers or services or something was already like 4.8 terabytes and growing by the day.

      but even if you wanted to run that, you cant because they wont release the software or interact with foreign relays.

      they dont even let you choose to grab the 4.8tb which is <10% of my home storage
