It's not decentralized although it tried really hard to be.
I don't want to google/remember the exact details but IIRC basically they run a centralized identity server that is impossible to avoid. At best, you can set up an island instance that doesn't federate with BlueSky proper (like Truth Social vs Mastodon).
