Serious question - How will the Bsky team defend against or respond to a Trump/Musk offensive against bsky itself? Bsky is turning into a top competitor of both of their platforms and is certain to harbor posts both of them would not like. Where are the servers/infra hosted? The team members?

Man, Bluesky would actually be kinda usable for me if it would just remember my timeline position and let me scroll through everything I've missed.
Letting me post more than 300 chars would also be nice but at least it has the ability to create an entire thread of posts and publish simultaneously

I know it's not *cool* to talk about Mastodon here, and I'm not even here to tell you it's "better". What's better for anyone is completely subjective. I just wanted to say that it's pretty cool that I run my own, completely isolated, yet federated and connected instance for less than $20/mo.
