Bluesky has announced that today they have started with federation, allowing anyone to host their own data on the #bluesky network.

In a blog post they announced that anyone can now host their own PDS, framing it as a way to control your own data, and also explaining how it differs from Mastodon.

Bluesky describes it as an 'early access of federation for self-hosters'.
