Bluesky is more open than you think.

Yeah, it doesn't even have communities.
https://azsky.app/ tries to use Bluesky's feeds to simulate something like communities. I think it focuses too much on piggybacking off bsky content to be useful though, like forums and microblogs are different paradigms and a different UI isn't going to change that.

The login wall is set by the user not by Bluesky. It’s a privacy setting
I was talking about an enshittification scenario similar to Twitter

I would argue that’s centralisation. Instances are inherently centralised, they own the user identity, relationships and data. A user “migration” which isn’t really a migration it’s an alt account on another server, if that server is blocking or is blocked then that users social graph can be significantly impacted. There’s no way to really migrate their content.
Instances are centralised, but the network isn't.
