@jaredwhite@indieweb.social @dialecticalmusings @cwebber@social.coop @innocentzero@social.tchncs.de The author of the post we're commenting on - and, I think many other atproto developers and advocates - seem to not see the value in single-user instances because they think of Bluesky as "an app" or "a product" that only makes any sense as a whole, and not as a network where each node is valuable in its own right, there is value in controlling that node, and we build something larger by making choices on how to network. I think this is very un-web-like thinking, but it does have a certain logic if you think of it as a product and not a network.

@jaredwhite@indieweb.social @cwebber@social.coop @innocentzero@social.tchncs.de @ricci@discuss.systems As long as the single user-owner follows users on other instances, they are still responsible for moderating every post and every boost by those users. The load will obviously be far lower than that on a multi-user instance, but it will not be zero. A PDS owner can also choose to be the sole user there. In that case, they simply have to ensure that they themselves post nothing illegal. So my basic point still holds. Agree with you that the moderation load will be particularly intense in case of large instances. #ATProto #Bluesky #ActivityPub #Fediverse #Mastodon
