The only thing that is tough to run an alternative to is https://web.plc.directory/ https://web.plc.directory/. The team has said they intend to move this into a foundation eventually, so that they're also not in control of that. Everything else, you can run a copy of it yourself, or reimplement yourself. > Its not clear if the lack of comparable efforts in the atproto universe is a matter of timing / resources, lack of information, incompleteness of the protocol or some other (non)technical issue. There are already alternative implementations of a lot of the stack. As a new and relatively smaller protocol, they have a variety of maturity levels. It's just the general "it's new" aspect to the whole thing. As stuff matures, so will all of this.
