Spending thirty million dollars to somehow force bluesky to interoperate with a copy of itself while people are out here connecting C64s, AA-powered PalmPilots, aquarium pumps and toothbrushes to the Fediverse is definitely an entire idea.

@stacey_campbell @mhoye and I'd drop everything and come and make you the food and drink of your choice every day for 1 year for 1/10th of that!
