This whole thread is a good explainer for people who still wrongly think Bluesky is a resilient/user-run/federated network like Mastodon is.
The reality is that Bluesky requires infinite VC money to fully replicate, whereas Mastodon can run totally self-sufficiently on a Raspberry Pi.

  TLDR 1. My definition of "P2P" or "Federated" is that if server A goes down, servers B and C can still talk to each other. 2. Bluesky/"Atmosphere" fails at this because Blacksky (B) utilizes Bluesky (A) to talk to me (C). 3. In order for Blacksky to avert this, they have to do something unreasonable and expensive. 4. Blacksky someday *will* do this, but will depend heavily on massively overworking Rudy and a few other people. This may someday fail. 5. ActivityPub has problems, but not these
