Yeah, but when people refer to BlueSky without specifying that, it’s the core server they’re referring to. When that goes down, I’d be surprised if that platform outlasted Mastodon.

fair, and I agree. wish more people were actually on activitypub. ATproto is fine but not ideal imho

Technically bsky is a federated platform

By the strictest definition of "technically", perhaps, but not in any meaningful sense is it actually federated.

You can easily run your own copy of everything but the PLC server, but if you use DID:Web account types you're not dependent on that either.

Even the relay is cheap to run now. $34 a month for A FULL RELAY is less than what it costs to run a large Mastodon server

Hosting your own account with your own PDS server is simple.

Running your own feeds and moderation labelers isn't even possible in Mastodon.
