@kirby I really do wonder how they're planning to get any money out of this. 
It's not like they're sabotaging the decentralization efforts. I heard they handed the central identity server over to some other company (take with a grain of salt because I only saw that in passing), and they also significantly lowered the cost of running a relay by dropping the "keep the entire message history for all of time" requirement. Blacksky is replicating the entire stack, too. So that's quite an improvement since the last time I looked into ATProto (which was when they allowed self-hosting the PDS).
