I expect a small amount of servers. A very small amount of BGS in particular. I wish good luck to anyone who tries to run a BGS because it seems like this particular service is going to be very costly to run.
I also expect a lot of confusion with all the different services and questions about who runs what.
For those who don’t know how AT protocol works, there isn’t a AT server, that’s not a thing. You have a PDS (that holds your account and knows your email/password), a BGS which index ALL posts from the ENTIRE NETWORK, an AppView that specifies what to do with the data (the microblog appview is called bluesky), Search is a different service, moderation and filters is a different service, there are as many servers as there are custom feeds and then there is the "placeholder" DID service (DID for Decentralized ID) which is just one server you cannot run your own.
So I expect a lot of "Hey admin, search seems to be broken − Ha, sorry, I don’t run the search service".
I also can’t see how the BGS are going to be community-run. If bluesky continues to grow, only big companies are going to run BGS servers. Sure it’s going to scale, but not in a very decentralized way.
