But anyone with a few million bucks can federate!
Why is it so expensive to federate Bluesky?
Because there’s a lot of content and, unlike the fediverse, you kind of have to mirror it all (which is good for users but bad for admins).
@NostraDavid
Mostly because it depends on certain centralized services. You can create your own apps and even host your own content, but the discovery and distribution system has a copy of every post so that it is easy to access by everyone. The positive side is that you don't have to worry about missing replies in the conversation since their centralized database has a copy of it. The downside is that hosting such a massive database is expensive.
A small loan from ones father, a garage and a dream, like how all billionaires started.

/sThere's no guarantee that anything will use your shiny new relay anyway.
I have like $10.52 in my checking acc right now, but am still currently federating and have been for like 3 months, specifically the social-app and the PDS.
