From what I have seen using Bluesky this isn't true at all. It's brutally censored, even more than Twitter was in 2021. Or are there other relays and appviews I can use that aren't? Is there a comprehensive list of Bluesky infrastructure that isn't run by Bluesky themselves (excluding a PDS)? Or is it totally centralized for now?

Agreed. I spent about 10 minutes on bsky before deciding it was a blatant, seemingly intentional, echo chamber and abandoned any interest.

It was in the beginning, but it's gotten better as more people have joined. Of course, some people just claim "echo chamber" when there's not enough political extremism, which seems like a false equivalence.
