Case in point: Northsky just sent out an email update about beginning their "phase two": 26% of their users have already been migrated to their new PDS, now they're moving on to creating their own app, moderation labeler, support for private data, "and more".
Blacksky has already built their own ATProto stack that's fully independent from Bluesky.
Now Eurosky is making progress as they roll out their own PDS.
I see more independent infrastructure springing up on https://atp.fyi/network, including AppViews.
For anyone hoping that we'll get another wave of people coming to the fediverse once Bluesky folds/enshittifies, that might not necessarily be the case as people will have more options to stay in the Atmosphere.

I don't know how useful it is to tell people how "truly decentralized" Bluesky is, or that it's funded by the likes of Blockchain Capital, but-!
I do think it's worth promoting efforts like https://www.blackskyweb.xyz and https://northskysocial.com that work towards wrestling control of our online lives away from corporations back to us.
