Is it currently possible to completely self-host ATProto and interact with BlueSky users? (lemmy.world)

I don't actually want to do this right now, but I do want to know if it's really decentralized yet. Completely looks like it means each of:

  • A client ✅
  • A personal data server ✅
  • A relay ❓
  • Labelers ✅
  • Feed generators ✅

It looks like the relay might be the bottleneck. If I'm understanding the protocol correctly, a relay could consume less than the whole network so it doesn't have to be ridiculously expensive to operate, but I'm not finding examples of people doing it.

ive been asking about this for a long time. ive yet to be presented with a non-bluesky controlled relay instance. this is a lynch-pin of the protocol and prevents true federation.

happy to be proven wrong someday, but bluesky is just twitter with user-contolled nodes. they can decide to remove nodes at their whim.
