This topic might get quite... "spicy", if discussion of certain urban repatriation events currently going on in the USA come up - chiefly Washington DC but looking to spread elsewhere rapidly.
You may want to preemptively say a message in the sidebar to deny such proposed offerings, if that is your intention.

I hope I am not adding to the problem here as well. It seems that obviously Bluesky is neither fully centralized nor fully decentralized. Is there a statement about just *how* much of either it is?
Although that might be complicated - like someone could say that Lemmy is fairly centralized, bc if you block Lemmy.World then you lose half the users and perhaps half the communities (and PieFed even more so, with PieFed.social representing an even higher fraction of users and communities on it).
So there is a distinction between Bluesky the service as it currently is implemented and Bluesky the protocol, the former of which is fairly centralized but the latter is more expandable?
