It's designed so other relays need to handle every message sent on all of bluesky, so server costs would be way too high for most people. Like car prices for minimal bluesky relay setup, and way more if you want to actually store all the messages you're processing.
@underscores @lily33 There have been multiple people testing this just this week, and it's more like ~$200 price level than a car price ๐

That's monthly right? It's a slight exageration, but that's close to low end used car payments. And from what I understand it'll go up as bluesky gets more popular, and the more relays there are.
@underscores Yeah. But doable for basically any company/org or an enthusiast with money to spare.
