I love the approach but I’d go with Mastodon which is an actual open protocol with multiple servers and clients and clearly not for profit

To be clear, so is blue sky – you can run a Bluesky server yourself just like mastodon

Do you know anyone who does? There's many big and open Mastodon instances but I've yet to see a Bluesky one.

Not only is the bluesky network highly centralized right now, its UI is designed to perpetually lock users into the main bluesky server. Even if you use your own identity, when sharing the URLs to the posts via the UI, the URL defaults to bsky dot app domain, which will break if the author ever moves to a second server.
