@thingsiplay are you referring to the credibility of the information itself? That does not depend on this. They can say whatever they want, whether the server is self hosted or not.
The credibility of the information is given by those who verify what these people said.

Bluesky uses a non-standard protocol and isn’t really federated yet.

Yes but then they couldn’t post to Threads. Which is where far more people are, unfortunately.

You do realise, a self hosted instance can federate with threads, its just an awful idea for the longevity of fedi
