…or BlueSky could stop being lame af and integrate activitypub.
except atproto solves a ton of problems that activitypub refuse to fix, especially around portability
Much cheaper if somebody else does it for you 🧠 By the power of opensource!
Federate, you cowards!
Unlike Threads, there’s people on BlueSky I actually want to follow.
They should have been giving their money to Bridgy Fed, which is working to bridge the actual content of social media rather than the app APIs.
Well, actually, I would much rather Bridgy remains independent from Dorsey’s blood money. Bluesky should just enable federation on a large scale so that it’ll actually be possible to build services around it. Right now they cap federated instances at ten users, which is a complete joke.
theyre sinking too much money trying to avoid using activitypub
Fun fact:
The entirety of bluesky was supposed to be an activity pub extension at some point.
So confused that skybridge is now getting all the media attention lol. Its been around for over a year and hasnt been updated for 3 months. It works fine, its just that nobody actually bothered to use it. Not really clear how 800 dollars is going to make a difference here.
They couldve just checked the repo lol.
