Imagine bluesky (the company) and mastodon.social both disappear tomorrow.

My self-hosted mastodon server continues working, and can continue federating with e.g. chaos.social

With bluesky it's different.

If I am fully self-hosting the entire bluesky app, I need to spend ten thousands of dollars a month, but it'll keep working.

If I self-host my own app, it's cheap and keeps working, but I can only see content from my users in the best of times.

If I use bluesky's relays, it's cheap and shows everyone I follow, but it'll stop working if bluesky disappears.
