    In theory, yes. Blue Sky does run on a federated model. In practice, no. If the Blue Sky Corporation died, it would be gone. If I remember correctly, all direct messages go through them no matter where you have your home data and such.

      Bluesky has its own federated protocol. But you should consider the differences and improvements of the AT Protocol with ActivityPub.
