Stop making centralized websites sound so good… banning known harassers and grifters before they can hurt people.
Also, you’d see the exact same complaining if this had been a lemmy.world account. Nothing stopping her from making her own instance, but she won’t because she doesn’t understand how any of that works and it’s too much effort when she can just complain about being censored for her beliefs (to harass minorities or whatever).
The centralized part of Bluesky is the node infrastructure that connects all the instances together. As I understand it, anybody can start their own instance, but they all run through Bluesky’s lemmy.world equivalent. I’ve seen plenty of people from other instances, but it seems like just a way to host your account off the main platform as far as I can tell from using the official app.
Yeah, it seems more like an analog to having your account hosted locally than anything else. Like running your own empty Lemmy instance just for your account instead of creating one on .world.
Supposedly, they plan to standardize the federation protocol and hand it off to a nonprofit so that anybody can create their own proper instance. Supposedly. The way it sounds like the infrastructure is set up makes it sound feasible, if not plausible, but I’m not gonna hold my breath on whether or not that actually happens.

You realistically cannot host your own Bluesky instance.
