The likely answer to this is that there will always have to be a large corporation at the heart of Bluesky/ATProto, and the network will have to rely on that corporation to do the work of abuse mitigation, particularly in terms of illegal content and spam. This may be a good enough solution for Bluesky’s purposes, but on the economics alone it’s going to be a centralized system that relies on trusting centralized authorities.
Right now, I just want twitter to lose.

The CIA didn’t make SELinux. Not sure where you got that from.
It was the NSA lol
The CIA invented crack cocaine, and that’s another tool that I use daily.
They confused 3 letter evil agencies – not surprising

Let us know how it goes, really curious to see how much an enthusiast can self-host!
People fleeing twitter to bluesky are like frogs jumping out of one boiling pan into another pan that’s slowly starting to heat up.
So give me a Fediverse Twitter alternative that’s actually a drop-in replacement for Twitter the way Bluesky is and that is (and this is by far the most important factor) as easy to sign up for as Bluesky is. People aren’t leaving Twitter because it’s “corporate” or “enshittified”, they’re leaving because it’s the proverbial Nazi bar and they want to jump through as few hoops as possible to get where they want to go. Which is Twitter, minus the Nazi in charge and his followers.
Dude, the reason twitter is a shitty place to be is because of how it works. If you just move to another platform that does exactly the same, it will devolve into the same shithole twitter
wasis.Quote-tweets (or whatever they are called) were resisted for so long in mastodon because it leads to toxic “omg, look at this person, let’s make fun of them” posts. It’s entirely too easy.
Add to it a tiny character limit and the majority of thing people can post is flickers of thoughts and incomplete works. Forcing people to reduce their expression directly leads to information being lost and for confusion or misunderstandings to be more common.
It is insane to repeat the same thing and expect a different outcome. Bluesky might be nice right now, but when twitter falls, the same people will just move to the Bluesky and nothing will have changed.

Bluesky allows you to block quote-tweets of your posts. That’s already a good mitigating measure for this kind of harassment.
Another thing that Bluesky does well is blocklists. We should probably consider something similar here on Lemmy/Mbin, that would help to crowdsource moderation and reduce the workload on mods/admins.
The value of social media is 100% in who’s on it. Vast majority of people neither know nor care what the fediverse is. They just know a lot of people who don’t suck are moving to bluesky.
No reason it has to be one cooperation. Could be multiple different appviews ran by trusted entities.
And if my grandma had wheels she’d be a bicycle.
If it’s disadvantageous to the money in control of it, it won’t happen.
It is happening though. There’s workgroups trying to get their own AppView up, the https://freeourfeeds.com/ initiative announced yesterday, and then moving the register to an ICANN-like consortium.
