Interesting that he's so optimistic about bluesky vs mastodon

[–] klu9@piefed.social 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think he has written about some of the better technical aspects of ATproto vs ActivityPub, but the one thing holding it back was how hard/expensive it was to host. Now apparently that final hurdle has been resolved.

(NOTE: I am not an expert, just trying to recall from a little reading elsewhere)

He says so in this article, but afaik you won't get a full bluesky node, just parts of it. So it's not fully decentralized. But you're not under their TOS apparently.

Actually, you can host a full-network relay for $34 a month: https://whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/3kwzl7tye6u2y (article by a bluesky engineer).

All the other pieces are self hostable, PDSes are trival to host, and would cost less than $5 a month.

No I think they still have control over the decentralized identifiers, ironically

Also: a lot of stuff from that article isn't really accurate anymore.
