  I’m way less worried about bluesky as opposed to threads. If anything, it serves as a healthy competitor to mastodon in terms of how it would require a bridge to interact. You have to go out of your way to make it happen.

  But threads is pulling a EEE, and it’s obvious that’s the goal.

    If they actually had legitimate interest in the fediverse they would be working towards making Instagram interoperable. But of course their established platforms aren’t necessary for EEE.

  Alternative Title: “Bluesky happy to use the standard playbook so long as there’s still bozos willing to contribute free labor for their profit.”

  TFTFY

  I dont see the issue here. Series A investment is normal. I am glad to have a federated alternative to twitter. I know people here hate it but federation is just way more comfortable to use.

    People here prefer the federation of Mastodon

    I don’t like shareholders calling the shots. They just went from eventually needing to make enough money to keep the doors open and the staff paid to needing to make as much money as possible whenever the investors say it’s time.

    That’s illegal, unfortunately. Only qccredited investors can invest into private companies. There should be a lower limit on that rule, say $100 or something, so naive investors could invest play sums in potentially shady stuff. But there isn’t, so you can’t.

  This bridge is trying to get Mastodon and BlueSky to exchange information… techcrunch.com/…/bluesky-and-mastodon-users-are-h…

    I truthfully don’t think this bridge will work long-term just because it’s rather clunky. I think mastodon needs an integration built into their platform so instances can have the choice to turn on a two way atProto connection that creates accounts under the instance identity and writes and reads post to atProto.

    Bluesky doesn’t need to adjust anything as they’ll pick up anything written to atProto.

      Or they stop whining about how it would be very hard to contribute the ATProto features into ActivityPub and switch from ATProto to ActivityPub
