But if the atproto team actually releases a way to selfhost a relay server as well (and not just a data server), in theory if bluesky enshittifies you could always fork the app, selfhost your PDS and Relay and migrate, while still being able to interact with the people in the "mainstream bluesky".
I know this is a big if, and that at the moment it's not reality, but the Atmosphere it's at leaat 10 years younger than the Fediverse. So I'd say let's not call it shit yet and just see how it evolves...
It's not shit yet. Right now, it's good. Honestly, better than the fediverse in core usability.
The issue is whether it stays that way. And yeah, if they open up the way you're talking about, I'll probably move over myself, because that's the protection against enshittification. But if they don't open up, if they stay centralised, and just play at federation, then the writing is on the wall for how it ends, because it's happened countless times before. And I won't invest my time or effort in being part of that community only to lose it
