The infrastructure is open source, but some critical parts (the relay) are still run only by bsky pbc with no clear way to switch to a competitor.

Seems a bit strange in terms of ownership, no?

It's like a milder form of how git is open source but GitHub is a centralized service. And all the nice non-git social features such as stars and issues and discussions are proprietary.

For the bsky protcol the extra stuff is (mostly) open source too but it'd still be very expensive to build a reliable full featured alternative so 95% of people just default to GitHub/bsky.app
