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 Why would existing :fediverse: servers waste breath to support Bluesky’s protocol? Let Bluesky implement ActivityPub - should not go backwards 🤔 Otherwise why even bother?

Though smart phone is since 1998, not 2005. ARM based from about 2002.
See also SMS vs Google vs Apple iMessage.
Also Mail on Android isn’t. It’s using Google servers with your settings. You can install real email clients on Android. Also Google has “taken over” SMS & MMS on Android phones.
Don’t adopt AT or negotiate with any platform. Let them adopt AP and don’t give them a seat on development. Google is wrecking Web Browsers.
No point in adapting to their protocol, that’s for sure.
I don’t know, account portability would be kind of cool. With ActivityPub with a ban or server shutdown, your account is just gone.

Hell no. Let them adopt AP which is a standard.
@ajsadauskas I mainly wanna keep Fedi mostly noncommercial and entirely nonproprietary.
