some instances pre-subscribe to new servers/communities across the verse using bots to 'pre-load' the /all/new for new users to be able to see locally to subscribe to
theres almost nothing decentralized about bluesky
mahn kbin is dead. long live mbin. at least use more recent stats
i just wish theyd stop calling themselves a federating platform when they have yet to prove that.
ha, ok. still kinda smells like a giant ol, single big tech to me. primary components still operated by a single board with monetary goals in mind..
the king is dead. long live the king vibes
i think their point is if you want to comment make a google account and comment.. or dont.
personally, it boggles the mind why anyone would want to do that.

be the change you want to see. offer alternatives to subs pissed about over moderation, ads and bot activity. some instances still let you create your own communities, like mine https://moist.catsweat.com
id go a step further and say you need to draw a sub to a specific community. its hard moving users though when reddit actually attempts to prevent it by banning you for trying.
A firehose relay takes TB's of storage
which is similar nonsense which ActivityPub has with replicating whole datasets everywhere.. cept its one company controlling the whole shebang. its a failure of design.
ive been asking about this for a long time. ive yet to be presented with a non-bluesky controlled relay instance. this is a lynch-pin of the protocol and prevents true federation.
happy to be proven wrong someday, but bluesky is just twitter with user-contolled nodes. they can decide to remove nodes at their whim.
maybe youll appreciate my low quality gif efforts
thats kind of on the admins though.
definitely a pitfall for users joining a shitty instance
