you can’t have decentralisation without federation, also iirc there’s problems with bluesky’s federation architecture so there’s syncing issues between instances

bluesky is still not decentralised. just having a protocol does not mean anyone use will use it. if bluesky is down, there’s no bluesky.

the main problem is that running an instance of the atproto stack is way complex, so nobody wants to do it.

From what I can tell, Bluesky is both decentralized and federated in terms of the protocol and software, but in a practical sense, trying to run the whole thing independently doesn’t seem quite there yet.
The things that are easy to do are use a domain name as an identifier and host your own personal data server

it has the potential to be both. until people running their own instance is commonplace, it won’t be either.
