I think he has written about some of the better technical aspects of ATproto vs ActivityPub, but the one thing holding it back was how hard/expensive it was to host. Now apparently that final hurdle has been resolved.
(NOTE: I am not an expert, just trying to recall from a little reading elsewhere)

He says so in this article, but afaik you won’t get a full bluesky node, just parts of it. So it’s not fully decentralized. But you’re not under their TOS apparently.
Interesting that he’s so optimistic about bluesky vs mastodon

Actually, you can host a full-network relay for $34 a month: https://whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/3kwzl7tye6u2y (article by a bluesky engineer).
All the other pieces are self hostable, PDSes are trival to host, and would cost less than $5 a month.
No I think they still have control over the decentralized identifiers, ironically

Also: a lot of stuff from that article isn’t really accurate anymore.
yeah, honestly I wish them luck
You can use a web did.
But yeah, did:plc is a joke.
