Could someone please explain to me whether Bluesky is decentralized? Maybe send me some blogposts. Thanks!

As I understand it:

ATProto is built to be decentralized. Right now, Bluesky is a company that both originated the protocol and is building a platform on it, so the impact is that it is functionally centralized as there is only one implementation on only one platform.

But if someone else built an ATProto implementation then it would no longer be only Bluesky, and then it would be decentralized.

Again, as I understand it.
