AFAIU, federation as planned only means federating ownership of my data. means I can host my data myself. but the rest of the bricks that make up bluesky (the aggregators, the timelines) is as before. so e.g. hosting ym own server doesn't really give me more control on what happens to my data
that said, the rest of the bluesky architecture is epic so it doesn't matter that much to me! I can choose timelines and custom moderation labels and all the good stuff! bluesky already gave us a shitton of freedom and control
in fact in my understanding this is incorrect. being able to host your own pod won't help much with scaling; pods were designed to consume low resources. afaiu the scaling bottleneck is the aggregator thingies https://bsky.app/profile/emily.bsky.team/post/3jzniqyluw52z
