Take control of your online identity with a one-click Bluesky PDS. Built on the open AT Protocol, Bluesky gives users full ownership of their social data and digital presence. Clovyr makes self-hosting simple, secure, and accessible for everyone, with no command line required.
Self-hosting - AT Protocol
Self-hosting a Bluesky PDS means running your own Personal Data Server that is capable of federating with the wider ATProto network.

Tranquil PDS is a Personal Data Server, the thing that stores your posts, profile, and keys. Bluesky runs one for you, but you can run your own.

Bluesky is built on the open ATProto “atmosphere” network. The Personal Data Server is the network unit that serves as a repository for user data, identity, and media on the network.

Bluesky runs many PDSs. Each PDS runs as a completely separate service in the network with its own identity. They federate with the rest of the network in the exact same manner that a non-Bluesky PDS does. These PDSs have hostnames such as morel.us-east.host.bsky.network.
The frustrating thing about this is that when you "Login with Bluesky", you're not even actually logging in with Bluesky The App. You may be using a Bluesky PBC-hosted PDS, but it has nothing to do with @bsky.app, other than it's the PDS you're assigned when you create an account on their client.
You can sign up for @inspo.land with your bluesky account! under the hood it creates a new private PDS using bsky for auth still a bit finicky sometimes, so lmk if you run into any issues!
How can a lay person "own their data" if they have no idea what a PDS is and that they are granted authority over that server and it's data? The idea that they only need to know about "credible exit" if bluesky becomes hostile plays right into the computationally passive cycle we live in.

”The distinction between programmer and user is reinforced and maintained by a tech industry that benefits from a population rendered computationally passive. If we accept and adopt the role of less agency, we then make it harder for ourselves to come into more agency.”
