So, bluesky doesn’t work the same as the fediverse,
bsky.app is an appview. It doesn’t federate, it just aggregates data and indexes it.
A PDS stores data.
If you went to deer.social, and chose something like bsky.aenead.net as your hosting provider, you won’t be using any bluesky infrastructure.

That’s not really true anymore.
There is multiple different instances now. I can use bluesky without using bluesky’s servers.

You can.
Relay’s are less expensive now, it’s about 24 a month.
app.wafrn.net is a tumblr thing with atproto support.
