I am thankful that I do not need to say „thankyou“ to #Bluesky, the company and its investors for the verification of accounts or to ask them for changes in their configuration so that my social media platform is working.

It shows how dependent #Eurosky and #ATProto still is on Bluesky. They are at the mercy of them. And I do not trust Eurosky to be ever free and fully independent, even if I really want to believe in it.

Please change my mind, but for now I keep on building on ActivityPub.

@Sascha would you also build on ActivityPub by "invading" #Bluesky / #Eurosky via @bsky.brid.gy ?

I find Bridgy pretty handful for showing how cool AP is, directly inside Bluesky/AT - thereby kinda demonstrating protocols and networks are "bothers" rather than ennemies.

@politipet @bsky.brid.gy I think bridges are okayish. They are still single point of failure. They should only work with active opt-in. But they remove a big disadvantage a see in AT: they kill the public blocklists in AT while still providing my content from AP. And lastly: I wonder why there should be two „social protocols“ at the same time. It’s good to have some time to learn from each other. On the longterm it should be one working protocol for all social web things.
