@stefan AP currently does not survive nodes going down well. That's addressable, and I have written out part of the answer of how to address it, but it's true that it doesn't do that presently and I'm not sure there's community interest to fix it.
I actually think that the people working at Bluesky do believe in decentralization, and they have a lot of good people there. If there are ways to collaborate which are fruitful, I'd rather not burn a bridge, which is partly why I keep my mouth shut. But there are serious, serious structural problems for achieving decentralization and I don't think the financial model will prioritize fixing them, and in the meanwhile many users mistakenly believe they *are* on a decentralized system.
