No. Self-hosting a Bluesky PDS just means that you get to pay for the hosting of your data (storage and bandwidth), and the renewal of your vanity domain. You also get to be responsible for keeping your server software up to date.
The wider ATProto network controls the visibility of your content across Bluesky. -

The wider ATProto network controls the visibility of your content across Bluesky.Yup, that's the problem with AT, it pipes everything through a relay and does not allow PDSes to communicate with each other. And at the moment, the only relay belongs to Bluesky corporation, giving the corporation full control over the network.
Fediverse servers communicate directly with each other, giving them total control over what they see and who they connect to. (Relays do exist on the Fediverse, but they're optional and don't prevent direct server-to-server comms.)
