No, PDS federation is fully open now.

They're also actively supporting development of 3rd party appviews and relays.

    The power dynamic is still 1000000:1 they can do whatever they want and you will have to follow. If they defederate you, there is no value in your self hosted instance.

    Partially - something running independent infrastructure like Whitewind (blogging on atproto) will still work just like before (it's easier for them to run it independently because you don't need a full network view, just pull in the posts from the user's PDS for standalone display)

    When the work to make appviews easier to run makes it more practical this will be less of a risk.
