Tl;Dr it isn't decentralized.

If you can build your own or selfhost each of the following to read and push back to all of the atProto protocol:

  1. App

  2. Backend Relay

  3. Moderation

  4. Algorithm

And you still say that's not decentralized I'm not sure what you're looking for nor what your definition of decentralization is.

If I log into BlueSky right now, can I see posts from other instances? This is a legitimate question since the twitter archetype doesn't appeal to me.

Instances aren't necessarily a thing in atProto because an instance usually refers to a single server. But you can see people's posts from selfhosted PDS/relays yes.
