If BlueSky is so good, why do their users spend so much time trying to make Mastodon users accept them via Bridgey? It's weird.
Because Bridgy is opt-in, and I can't interact with Mastodon users on Bluesky unless they opt-in to Bridgy.
@sabreW4K3 The way I see it is that AT/BlueSky has a lot of potential as a finished ecosystem, but it's far from completed and even if it's completed well it won't be as decentralized as the other big protocols. It's still got 25x the people as something like ActivityPub or Nostr though, so I'm coming at this from the perspective that I don't necessarily want to make BlueSky my home base of decentralized protocols, but interconnectivity still would let me communicate with anybody on the bigger platforms.
The same could be done right now with Lemmy and Reddit. But it would be a hack that's gonna be broken every time the site updates in a backward incompatible manner. Which will happen.
If the interoperability is not part of the core product, all you get is 3rd-party hacks.
