    So, bluesky works differently to fedi.

    A PDS stores your posts/comments/likes/blocks/articles/whatever. These all get crawled and saved to a relay.
    An appview connects to a relay and sorts through all the posts, and indexes them.
    They handle all the interactions, rather than passing messages between servers.

      Let me just ask the less technical and more important questions:

      1. If BSky goes out of business and shuts down their servers, will these continue to function?
      2. Does BSky still have any control at all over moderation?
