I disagree that Bluesky is in conflict with The Ecosystem Is Moving. In contrast to most decentralized/distributed protocol projects they've managed to maintain control of almost all of their infrastructure with the exception of the personal data servers (pdses) of which they control 99.01%[1]

Almost all ATProto apps just fetch posts by handle => did:plc => post-type aka "lexicon", so they depend on what Bluesky decides to give them. If someone were to introduce unknowns into the flagship product's "lexicon" they could fix that at the API or Indexing level before shipping this data to the apps that depend on their API.

An actually decentralized network would have to overcome Moxie's criticism of the ecosystem. Can it be done? We'll keep trying.
