Bluesky announces data federation for self hosters

Thats easy, you don't have a structure made with a single large actor capable of changing the rules of the game mid flight.

You get something good system by sharing power, not by once again falling for "trust us bro." You get it by understanding power imbalances and avoiding them the same way my dog avoids objects with large amounts of potential energy, because they're predictably dangerous.

I understand this, yet, when presented with exactly this, the response was "well what about EEE."

The protocol and hosting mechanisms are open source. There’s one actor currently sure, but it seems like bluesky is not holding onto that.

So presumably today's announcement that they are now supporting self-hosted instances is welcome news to you -- it is a huge stride in the direction you are advocating for.
