 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?

 I don’t think anyone is suggesting that Bluesky’s decentralization is here or substantial. It might be in the future, but it certainly isn’t now. The point is more that we should learn from their feature set, because they have some features that are very decentralizing of power within a social network, even though they run on centralized rails.

 Cool, I can totally get behind that.

When you say “we should learn from BlueSky”, do you mean ppl focused on Nostr?

If no, then I’m lost on your point.

If yes, what specifically do you think BlueSky is doing right *as a protocol* that Nostr is doing wrong or worse?  And specifically curious in the BlueSky “decentralized features” you mentioned.

Thanks

 The ability for anyone to create a feed algorithm and share it directly as a post is the most obvious huge one. Decentralized opt-in moderation/spam filtering/tagging/NSFW-marking is the other.

 They've actually got more open over time, which has amazed me.  More of it, I say!  Nostr has become more centralized.  You just never know how projects will develop, but all can strive to be better!
