The expensive part is "storing every post ever made on the network and its cryptographic signatures". A selective relay (only collecting posts its users want, as in Mastodon) would cut this by a lot, or it could just keep the last week or so of relayed posts.
But for that to happen someone has to build it.

If you will, though from a technical perspective ATproto is a better protocol, and more successfully deployed (in terms of user count and resource usage). ATproto already has distributed outboxes (and labellers, blocklists et c. missing here).

@joeinwynnewood @jubei @cellularmoose @mastodonmigration @cwebber Scaling by 1M users per day in November was pretty convincing to me, and it's not at all obvious that AP/Mastodon has that potential without an incompatible do-over.

I agree that there is an argument for funding Fedi improvements (which I do), but improving future conditions for 25M Bsky users (and other AT applications to come) is not negligible.
