Is there anything in Bluesky's design that prevents the company from attracting a critical mass of users and then restricting federation, or cutting it off entirely?
Despite being "open source", if you want to run your own Personal Data Sever, to join the network you'll need to join Bluesky's AT Protocol PDS Admins Discord server:
That would effectively lock participation behind Discord's terms and conditions. No thanks.
(But thanks for sharing that info. :)
I mean, it's kind of silly to lock it behind Discord, but just forcing admits to have a Discord account isn't that egregious. You're not forced to use it outside of communicating with Bluesky admins (or whatever goes on in that server).
