Just a hunch, but I think no decentralised network is going to run ATProto unless someone other than Bluesky forks it and makes the protocol changes that would allow that to be practical. I guess it's possible, in theory?
I've not read much about their protocol yet, is there a proposal somewhere on what changes are needed?
I'm not sure what approach would work. As I understand it, it's designed around the idea that all messages get routed through a monolithic "relay" which needs to see every single event from every user in order for any of them to get routed between the PDS nodes where user data gets stored.
Probably best to just add ActivityPub on top of it, if they really wanted to federate with anyone.
