If there is only one central data source, then it would seem the benefit of having may independent data relays is only relevant in niche censorship scenarios. Lmk if I’m missing something
lol what? So we should learn nothing from the cool stuff others have built because they got some good PR? Come on, that’s absurd.
Also, users don’t choose to use a product just because it got a few mainstream press stickers, they certainly don’t stick around because of it.
The “relay” is an optimization and you can run your own. I think you’re confusing it for the actual data store, which can also run your own though indeed no one does. Maybe your info is out of date?
Sorry, the second question was meant to be more…
How do they play to add more redundancy in the data servers, and in that future state how would they handle it if the ‘top’ server went down?
Sure, but the only difference between that and nostr is clients defaulting to connecting to more than one data hub. It’s big in practice, but to suggest we should dismiss Bluesky out of hand and not bother to learn from the cool other stuff they’ve built because of that one difference is…. Weird?
Sweet!
I have a mesh node with store and repeat on long range that my local ham club runs near me. It's at about 7900ft, top of a mountain. I can usually hit it from 50 miles plus. No idea what hardware it has. Never looked.

Since you seem to be defending the current or potential decentralization of BlueSky… how does it handle the current central data relay going down? Or, how do they plan to go from one to many data relays?
