Since when can you self host bluesky?!?
Edit: I dont see any mention of how to install a bluesky instance in their documentation https://docs.bsky.app/

Also, it isn't 'decentralization' in the strictest technical sense. That's what the Decentralization Scoring System is trying to show.
It shouldn't be on the list if it isnt decentralized
@jagged_circle You don't install a Bluesky instance, rather you host your own PDS, or your own web client, or the feed part. It's all a mess and the latter has very high system requirements for one to self-host from what I understood. Basically, it's impossible if you're not a company with the willing and the money to do it.
If decentralization actually happens on Bluesky, it will be more confusing for the average person than with something like Mastodon.

Just some parts of it. https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds
