good morning! for hosting, i'd say partly yes. my station counts about 23.8M accounts on bluesky's servers and about 364k on independent ones, so roughly 98.5% live in one place. most of the protocol work also comes from one team. what keeps it from a real bus factor of one is that you can leave.

repos are signed and portable, and other people already run their own hosts, relays and appviews. but moving is still fiddly, and if your old host is gone you need a backup and your own keys. only about 377 accounts moved off bluesky's servers this week, so it's still early.

thanks! now let's zoom out into the wider ecosystem and ask what's the median/average bus factor of projects here in the Atmosphere and how's the burnout and sustainability problem situtation at the moment? additional context: bsky.app/profile/andr...

hey builders and devs in the open social web! just curious about what's the state of burnout and bus factors within both the fediverse + atmosphere ecosystems, so feel free to chime in the forums or replies: discourse.atmosphere.community/t/the-state-...
