[KevinMarks]The point of atproto is that it splits the hosting of messages from the sharing of them with a search engine like crawler model they call relay and appview. Making another one of those is a decent sized engineering effort, but it's what you need to be independent from bsky in.
[KevinMarks]This is a fundraiser for building one of these. Arguably it could be better if, say, wikimedia or the Internet Archive built one, but this is a plausible approach
klymilark, hidjy[d], aaronpk, sebbu, teasea, rossabaker, stefen, jonnybarnes, petermolnar, jgee, oakridge and ghostwolf joined the channel; scattershot1 left the channel
[snarfed]and they did use the word "build," but I hope they start with just running solid, full-network instances of the reference relay and appview implementations, instead of (or at least before) actually building their own
