@jonny can people also host their own relay or what would be the Mastodon equivalent?

@can it is possible to host your own data, but no there will be no more relays: neuromatch.social/@jonny/11336

@jonny thanks for the in-depth explanation. So I could theoretically run my own relay? But it has the challenges you described in your post? Or what do you mean by “there will be no more relays”?

@can oh it's extremely easy to execute the software of the relay, they write solid code: github.com/bluesky-social/indi

i mean there will not be a meaningful network of secondary relays except for small projects, like multiple relays on a thing that is recognizably "bluesky the app and platform" is not going to happen

@jonny ah ok, got it! It’s also telling that today everything seems centralized (of course hard to tell without seeing what Relays and PDS run in the background). Compre that to Mastodon, where there many many servers.
