"Keeping reading 'decentralised' in relation to Bluesky, which I assume refers to its infrastructure in some way..."
*sigh*
This "decentralized" / "federated" myth was a smokescreen developed around the time that Bluesky began to allow individuals to host their own PDS
"Self-hosting a Bluesky PDS means running your own Personal Data Server that is capable of federating with the wider Bluesky social network."
Except there never was any "wider Bluesky social network" because every PDS had to communicate --> back <-- to the single, one-and-only Bluesky DID
Of course, this minor detail /sarcasm is almost undocumented
