@moira The thing is, if bsky the company is behaving well, there's really no *need* for a second relay right now.

if they go rogue, having the ability for the community, or some other org, or anybody else to stand up a replacement is a huge win. even just a partial relay for specific types of events, which the devs have said is fully supported and something they would expect instead of full relays, would be useful.

but there's no need to use the fire escape unless there's a fire.

@MikeBeas ...you say that like it's _easy_.

hooooooooly shit it's not

that will be an _adventure_. It will be much harder and take much longer than I think you think.

But at least it will be possible, so at least there is that.

@moira luckily it doesn't need to happen right now, but i suspect if it did, you would probably see a coordinate effort in the community to get one up and running as quickly as possible.

there are already a number of apps besides bluesky using the protocol, so people do have an interest in keeping the network alive.
