According to https://nostr.watch there is a considerable number of operational relays.

From what I understand from BlueSky is that personal PDS can host accounts and content but the network depends on big hubs like the main bluesky instance. It almost feels more like a convenient cost cutting strategy from the company behind BlueSky than actual decentralization. Correct me if I'm wrong.

This sounds worse than Mastodon. As for Nostr is more of a one to many system where a user would sign a message and post it to a bunch of relays where it can be fetched all while said message itself contains hints where to find it.

But on Nostr you can build a social app that uses only your relays and your relays can reject anything from everyone else
