Bsky wants to be one entry point into a decentralized network but there's little incentive to spin up your own Personal Data Server (since you're still subject to the moderation of the one front end everyone uses (AppView in ATProto parlance)) and still less incentive to host your own front end since you'd just be burdening yourself with all the same moderation problems bsky is trying to stay on top of IMO the devs have been so overburdened with trying to nail moderation that they're actually disincentivized from onboarding new populations, since multiple entry points to the network just lands in their lap as more difficult moderation problems - that is, they're still figuring out how to moderate people on their own servers and haven't yet decided how they're going to moderate with a federation of servers with different cultures than their own I don't think they're avoiding the big problems, but it does seem like they're taking the slow careful route, maybe this is for the best.
