Comment on Can we please stop arguing about whether Bluesky is decentralized?
irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 days agoYes, you can.
You can easily run a PDS, that’s the main public-facing part, you’d need port forwarding and a domain name for this.
Appviews are easier to host imo, github.com/alnkesq/AppViewLite is what I use. You can run this on a PC right now, and log in with your bluesky account.

thats not a whole instance though. thats just a place for an account to be. on activity pub platforms anyone can just make an entire indepent and independently functional instance of the platform.

???
The PDS and the Appview combined are equivalent to an instance. Both run on shitware.
