Saw some blue-check on Bluesky post a whole thing about how "there are no instances in ATProto" and how anyone who asks about instances is "Mastodon-brained".
What a roundabout way to say "Everything still goes through Bluesky because nobody else can afford to stand up an entire end-to-end pipeline*"
* Yes, I know Blacksky is doing it, but that's still a well-resourced private enterprise.
