I feel like you're missing the point of a decentralized protocol if at every step you suggest to use centralized services instead.

  You can self host every component in the stack. You can create a new one for your use case.

    And then once you've self-hosted ever component in the stack, you have one (1) Mastodon instance equivalent :)
    • cavoirom 4mo ago
      Yes and no, it could scale to the whole ATProto user base.

        Scaling is not useful if that's not your goal

          A mastodon instance is not useful if that's not your goal lol
          • lmorchard 4mo ago
            Why lol? If you only want to scale to a few dozen or a few hundred or even a few thousand folks, a Mastodon instance is fine. You don't have to scale to the whole world.
