EarlAll #Bluesky posts depend on their privately owned network to propagate. Even for those who self-host, if Bluesky-owned circuits do not allow permission, or for any other reason is unable to function, all communication is cut off through the Bluesky network, regardless of their stated plans for the future, which they have not implemented as of today.
