Recently, I’ve been learning more about this subject. Today I came across the Decentralization Scoring System and it slapped me across the face.

    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.

      @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.
