The way federation works with Bluesky/ATProto is fundamentally different than Mastodon/ActivityPub (see these diagrams).
If you want to maintain direct control over your data just in case Bluesky shuts down, you can move your data onto a PDS (Personal Data Server) that other apps built on ATProto can still access. Currently, this is a technical process, but it will become easier as the ecosystem develops.
