As I understand it BS will allow self-hosting (own instance) in the future, but there is an index/lexicon - a means that accounts have to register with a central database by BS to become findable. The server software is not (yet) public, but could be recreated from the public protocol.

Twitter has CW for images.

M good at data protection, Tw less so, BS and Th a catastrophe. I don‘t believe that Tw, BS, Th meet GDPR, DMA, DSA, etc 

 @5203a2a9 Partial self-hosting is not self-hosting. That kind of thing that you don't have full control of will never be truly open source in my books. @realcaseyrollins ✝️
