@silverpill My understanding is that their definition of "cheap" is intended for organizations as the entry cost of the "market" of ATProto services, which I think is consistent with their stated goal of "credible exit", that is, giving users multiple choices of whole platforms (as opposed to empowering every user to affordably self-host a whole set of social networking functionalities, oh no).
Yes, that's a very different view of the world from ours, but it's at least self-consistent, maybe. Still not to my taste though
