It's amazing to see #Mastodon and the #Fediverse recommended more but in turn Bluesky is also named as a "good alternative"
I would like to argue it's not;
If the company behind Bsky decides to stop and shut down their services, your self-hosted PDS can't do anything anymore without all infrastructure needed
Ofc one could self-host this but this is a true nightmare and far from a good solution
So yeah, I feel moving to Bluesky is just moving the problem, it's not a solution
Personally I have run both services, Mastodon for a long time now and it scales very well and is relative "cheap" to host this with this many people using it
With Bluesky the most I could host was a public PDS and a front end but it turned out that's only a super small part of it
And let's take a worst case, lets say Mastodon starts accepting bribes from Crypto companies or creating AI apps, we can always fork the code and go our own way
(those things named above are things Bsky has done)
