The likely answer to this is that there will always have to be a large corporation at the heart of Bluesky/ATProto, and the network will have to rely on that corporation to do the work of abuse mitigation, particularly in terms of illegal content and spam. This may be a good enough solution for Bluesky’s purposes, but on the economics alone it’s going to be a centralized system that relies on trusting centralized authorities.
Yes, you can self-host it, but the problem is the cost. The blog explains it very clearly.
The CIA didn't make SELinux. Not sure where you got that from.
It was the NSA lol
The CIA invented crack cocaine, and that's another tool that I use daily.
That was the FBI
They confused 3 letter evil agencies -- not surprising
My vote is for PEN15
Let us know how it goes, really curious to see how much an enthusiast can self-host!
You can self-host everything, but it doesn't scale well, and you will likely go bankrupt between 3 - 4 business days.
Of course, partial network relays/appviews are possible to host.
