With BlueSky moving towards finally opening up federation, I’m interested in how people feel about it?

Would you be open to the idea of Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, and other Fediverse platforms adopting the AT protocol in order to federate with it?

If those technical hurdles could be overcome, would you support your instance federating with BlueSky?

Does the same go for other commercially-owned platforms, such as Threads and Tumblr?

    @ajsadauskas @fediverse my understanding is that the models and design principles are completely different between AT and AP.

    But even if technical and philosophical hurdles could be overcome, I think adding 2M Extremely Online users to fedi would be a wash; it seems like most people pick either fedi or bsky for cultural reasons and smooshing the two together would just make everyone unhappy.

      …on the other hand, isekai-ing ten thousand German FOSS reply guys into the World of Shitposting and Discourse* would result in some entertaining fireworks, so who’s to say?

      * Oops I accidentally a Homestuck reference (and I don’t even like Homestuck). Clearly the platform I spend too much time on isn’t fedi or bsky - it’s Tumblr.
