They have already censored entire accounts at the request of governments.
Decentralized isn't the right word to use for a system like this.
Even though BS is going to appoint multiple different volunteer moderators (aka "Trusted Verifiers") for this system, ultimate authority and control are entirely centralized with BS.
when the person you troll gets mad, you report them
This comes off like "NSRXN made them break the rules" which is ridiculous.
People need to be responsible for their own actions.

Check the Tech Ingredients YT channel.
Tech Ingredients YT channel made a diy microwave directed energy device to disrupt consumer drones.
More like: That could be useful, just not for (perhaps many) drones.
1km isn't that far - the drones that were used for surveillance of Minneapolis protests in 2020 were around 6km up.
If they needed to get close for some reason, would a 1km deterrent be countered enough by approaching from directly above and using gravity for the last km?
And green lasers
What subject, and was it time limited? If there was any chance of not finishing in time I'd probably leave those until last.
Based on that logic, maybe reworking it to use 'toxin' instead would get it boosted...
Yep, one of those things the IT department takes care of and most other people just need to know to keep their devices updated.
More likely beets.
Regular chalk is calcium carbonate. Crayola's website says their sidewalk chalk uses calcium sulfate (gypsum as an ingredient in plaster of paris).
So they're both calcium salts.
But how could you get your hand to seamlessly meld into the fabric of the shoulder strap?
Agreed, but the headline and article mention chlorine many times. It's become obvious the last several years that most people are unable or unwilling to put in the effort required to understand nuance in anything. So if the discussion on this topic continues to bang on chlorine, it could lead to a real threat to clean water and perhaps sanitation in general.
Instead they should say something like 'chemically-disinfected chicken'. Because as you said, it's not that chlorine is bad.
You know the municipal water supply is disinfected by adding chlorine, right? https://www.water.org.uk/water-supply/drinking-water
There's plenty of other reasons to not buy most poultry produced in the states, but it's a bad idea to start fear mongering about chlorine.

I think you may have missed the point:
servers run by other people for the community to use
hosted instances of these components for real use
I'm hoping to see hostnames or IP addresses of existing instances of these components that anyone could connect to, and that aren't controlled by Bluesky PBC.
Not sure if an absolute list, but https://atprotocol.dev/ is a good resource.
There are no matches for the word 'relay' on that site's main page, or via the site search.
there isn't much incentive to run a relay in particular, as it all funnels into the same place
I disagree with this sentiment, especially since Bluesky "is designed to not be controlled by a single company" and have "many hosts, firehoses, and indexes, all operated by different entities and exchanging data with each other".
but if you're questioning the tech this guy did it a few days ago with the relay
I wasn't able to find a hostnames or IP for his instance on that page.
It looks like ^ he also has an appview up thats long form blogging here: >https://github.com/whtwnd/whitewind-blog
That looks cool, but it appears to show different content than BlueSky.
Another guy also built a lightweight app view
I dug through that thread and didn't see the URL for where it is hosted. Also I now feel the need to volunteer that I don't use Mastodon and am definitely not some kind of diehard fan of that app.
And stream.place is another appview but it's not a microblog platform. Also very early stages I believe.
Again, I'm hoping to see alternative server instances of all the Bluesky services available for utilization by the public (whether customized or just reposted), not other apps that use atproto.
I want to see distributed platforms succeed, but as Bluesky notes on their About page, the problem is with centralization of authority. If a necessary part of the system is exclusively managed by a single corporation, it is centralized - whether by intent or just de facto. If that is the case, it would indicate some problem(s) exist that need solutions pursued until the situation is remedied.
Is there a list of all the relays and appview servers run by other people for the community to use? I looked for one, but could find no evidence that others have actually hosted instances of these components for real use.
It isn't federation, since not all nodes in the system have equal power (control). There is still a central authority that controls what the inferior nodes can do.
Contrast that with email servers where you can send a message from one server to another without a more authoritative node as a required middleman.
