@BeAware@social.beaware.live @bnewbold.net@bsky.brid.gy To me it seems like they're right. Whilst (at a quick glance) you can't host your own UI, the PDS acts as a backend that you can connect to through clients (something like Akkoma), and I remember that iOS had alternative bluesky clients.

So yeah, it doesn't go through bsky servers to log in and do stuff (apart from the client itself), but since most users are on the Bluesky server, it has to interact with it for content (similar to a self hosted instance with mastodon.social).

Maybe it's not like that though, idk, I don't have any PDS's to test it on.
