@erlend Comparisons between centralized services and nodes in a distributed network are not meaningful. Comparisons between a specialized relay service and a full social media server are also not meaningful. And finally, it is not ActivityPub that is expensive, but Mastodon. Other implementations are cheaper, some are 10-100x cheaper

A relay of the entire Bluesky network can be run for $153/month. That’s mighty impressive!
Many #ActivityPub hosters are paying this amount for member counts in the low thousands.

That's their problem right now. If it's only BlueSky, their "decentralization" doesn't exist.
