I don't know what the back end looks like, but I see accounts hosted from unique servers fairly frequently. My favorite is @yeag.gay
That's probably not a different server. The ATproto allows users to use their website's URL as their handle by essentially adding a text file on their website to prove ownership, but their account is still hosted on the Bluesky servers.
If it's connected to the rest of BlueSky, all of its data to any other servers goes through that of BlueSky's. Even if user on private server A communicates with a used on private server B, the message is routed so that BlueSky's main moderation team can always affect it – they can block it or they could technically even add to it if they wanted to.
No other servers on BlueSky have that right. Except servers that are completely detached from all servers connected to that of BlueSky. And their separate network has their own central server, then.
That's not really how it works.
Atproto splits everything into data stores and apps.
Everything gets stored on your data store, then indexed by an app. Different apps can index the same data.
For example, one user is hosted on blacksky.app, and was banned from blueskys app. They're still reachable on https://staging.blacksky.community/ and https://reddwarf.app/
