i'm thinking of joining #bluesky since a few of my friends are there. from what i can tell, it works quite differently to mastodon/fedi.

should i host my own "PDS"?
if i do, will i need terabytes of media storage? does my PDS store a copy of every image from every skeet it sees, or does it only store images i post?
are there usability disadvantages to self-hosting? since i'm on a single-user mastodon instance, a lot of posts don't federate to me (and vice versa, many instances won't see my posts. they're not missing out on much.). will that happen with bluesky?
