So your whole point is the *hypothetical* "what if Bluesky turns bad".

And just with that hypothetical, you scratch the whole effort Bluesky is currently doing to offer an open protocol ? Which is the opposite of almost (Mastodon) all other social networks ?

Come on..

It honestly feel like this was written by someone being paid by a competitor, just to discredit the service.

Of course they will provide an infrastructure to ease users on to creating and using their service, they can't just provide an empty shell just for the pure purpose of decoupling the protocol and the service. You can't blame them for that (well, you can apparently..)

Author is from Nostr and many of them love to hate on Bluesky and ATProto. They've gone as far as to maintain a sustained attack on the PLC, going on a year now. The continuously submit "valid" operations (technically, but not actually), which contain chunked images base64 encoded. Perhaps to bloat the database? Not really sure what the goal is here (assuming it's just a different bad apple from the Nostr crew)

Thank you for this clarification. I'm sad to learn I wasn't far from right on this.
