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.

That’s addressed in the blog post. She was saying it was currently 5TB and growing. So anyone wanting to set up a server would need to pay for that space, and that’s not cheap.

It's also not, like, unattainable

But it's definitely well beyond what any hobbyist is going to set up in a whim

Meh, homelab storage and FTTH are reasonably cheap. Or rented iron like Hetzner.
