Genuine question, then: why is hardly anybody hosting their own Bluesky server?
It’s not a matter of how many users, but whether those users have the option to switch servers. By the former standard, mastodon would be considered centralized simply because of mastodon.social.

So bluesky is as decentralized as mastodon, but you achieve that by running a relay instead of a server? Do I have that right?
