Gregory's Server@rolle FYI: Bluesky (or ATProto according to the diagram there) *can* be self-hosted. The thing is the instance of the Bluesky BGS doesn’t aggregate with other PDSs but Bluesky’s official one (for now). So while technically you can self-host it, it may not be as useful until your PDS can be connected to the main BGS.

@rolle You can, but it will be fully isolated from the rest of the ATProto network. Just your very own thing, which will serve no purpose… On the other hand, boiling it down to *just that* shows that maybe you don’t see the benefit of having a personal datastore (think of it like a passport) separate from the data aggregation service, which is what those folks are doing. For me, it’s probably the only feature I’d wish ActivityStream/ActivityPub had contemplated. |
@linuxct Yada yada. It is not self hosting if I cannot fully install it right now on my own server.
