   Slowly concluding that I really am going to have to get a Bluesky account for professional reasons, but I reserve the right to he pissy about it.

   How feasible is hosting your own AT protocol data store atm? I've got decent server hardware.

     @HauntedOwlbear Hosting a PDS (data store & cryptographic signing capability) is basically trivial.

     The Relays and the AppViews and the tough & expensive part, and are how Bluesky Inc retains control whilst being able to bullshit about "decentralization" - b/c it's possible to have your own PDS.

     @kittylyst cool, a self hosted PDS represents a satisfactory minimum level of control over my data for me, at least for a business oriented presence.

     (Although why they didn't use any of the existing standards is... Not all that mysterious actually)

     Really useful link, thank you!

     @devlin yeah. Although holding my own data in my own premises will reassure me a little, I really don't want to be used as someone else's content generator in an effort to create another monopoly.

     But where the industry goes, if I want to be visible... Maybe.

     @HauntedOwlbear I really don't want to, but I fear I'm going to have to eventually. I'm sick of big corpo socials.
