"I regret to inform you but Bluesky is fun..and Mastodon will remain as a niche product."

Well there it is folks, Wired has spoken. Let's go home. Nothing to see here. It's all over but the IPO. Nice try, though. A plethora of venture capitalists and a cabal of fascist plutocrats think you're a swell buncha peeps. Sincerely.

@shoq What will Wired write when some Mastodon admins create a Bluesky-ActivityPub bridge and the Mastodon server acts as Bluesky provider?

Will their minds blow? Because it will happen, federation is the key, not the protocol.

It's entirely to be expected. There is less financial incentive for the for-profit media companies to promote the Fediverse as opposed to them pushing for people to go to for-profit social media platforms.
