    Cool! So can you point me at a non-bsky.app instance running the full BlueSky stack that federates with bsky.app and continues working even if bsky.app disappears or defederates with them?

      So, bluesky doesn’t work the same as the fediverse, bsky.app is an appview. It doesn’t federate, it just aggregates data and indexes it. A PDS stores data.

      If you went to deer.social, and chose something like bsky.aenead.net as your hosting provider, you won’t be using any bluesky infrastructure.
