Which, yes, kind of makes decentralization less useful, so people are encouraged to move to a different instance sooner or later. But I don't see how Bluesky solves this better. My cursory understanding is that they handwave the topic away and really just use decentralization as a form of load-balancing.
I don't disagree. I just find it a tad overblown.
