The way Bluesky works, there's a "personal data server/PDS" (which is how you host your own posts) and an "app server" (which queries everyone else's posts to create the whole app interface). You'd have to host both (the PDS is easy, the app server is hard) to avoid the Bluesky policies. That said, since it is still quite possible to do so, I think Bluesky is on the right side of that tradeoff.
