But then will it still federate with Bluesky infrastructure and data?

Let me know if I’m being unreasonably Mastodon-centric here, but I guess my standard is if I can own* my own infrastructure but still federate data with the rest of the world. Without that federation, it’s cute but doesn’t really feel or act like the fediverse, you know?

* Or use one of many trusted providers.

Cool! So can you point me at a non-bsky.app instance running the full BlueSky stack that federates with bsky.app and continues working even if bsky.app disappears or defederates with them?

I can run my own federated relay and AppView servers now?

It’s also not particularly decentralized / federated, despite what their marketing might say.
