@bad-example.com demonstrates the first(?) fully bluesky (the company) free bluesky (the application)

The same bluesky that "restricted access to 72 accounts in Turkey at the request of Turkish governmental authorities"? For me it's dead on arrival, let's focus on Mastodon instead.

No, in fact.

Relay: works like a CDN

PDS: like a database

AppView: your Blueskies and deers dot social

This proof of concept is an AppView using a relay run by Blacksky instead of Bluesky. Most of the users are on PDSes run by Bluesky, but the quoted post comes from a self-hosted PDS. Self-hosted PDSes already far outnumber Bluesky-run and the only thing holding a lot of people back is the tooling to move back in the event of problems isn't there yet.

My favorite part of this is it's built on components built independently by different people building tools for their own needs and communities while the Bluesky folks were busy working on the core tooling to make it easier for others to do the same. Nobody had to ask anyone for permission.
