Hello m@teys,
I’ve been waiting for this a long time (half a year), personally. After seeing the surge in piefed instances, i.e. blahaj, .ca, .zip, quokk.au, and .world creating their own instances, and clients guaranteeing future piefed support, we’ve been thinking about potentially opening an instance in the future. Not a guarantee, just an idea. This isn’t a voting thread, just a discussion. Later on we’ll actually vote on this.
Do note that this thread will not guarantee an instance; we are discussing a hypothetical. Suggestions? Ideas? Criticisms? make your voice heard.
Have a good week!

governance type: sense check
Bluesky has a protocol, and advertises itself as decentralised.
This is true/false depending on your defintion of decentralised.
The main problem is that almost all users are on bluesky’s servers, and it was originally very expensive to run another node (this has since been fixed).
FWIW, bluesky is run by people who do care about it. The source of enshittification I see happening to them is investors demanding a return on their investment. They seem aware of this, they said they consider the organisation to be a future adversary.
I made two posts about it: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/47335289 https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/47394310
