Given the de facto centralization of the service at the 10M user mark, what is the meaning of developing a decentralized protocol to power another centralized service? Are you comfortable being associated with it?
I’m very happy with what the team is doing. The key is “credible exit”: if Bluesky-the-company were to go bad, users could move to other infrastructure with minimal disruption. That has almost been achieved already. More in https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.03239
I've read the paper, thanks. It doesn't even mention "credible exit". The abstract talks about "having multiple interoperable providers for every part of the system". I already consider the company to have gone bad, what are my options?
