@exerra @bnewbold.net but...their PDS still connects to BlueSky servers in some way.
That's the disconnect. There's no way to *not* have that happen.
I have my own front and backend of Mastodon here, but I can completely cut off mastodon.social and connect to everyone else. They cannot do that.
Until that happens, I am uninterested.🤷♂️
