@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.
