@mackuba@martianbase.net well I think even some Bluesky team member said they can understand why fediverse people would be suspicious of their motives so I don't see it as all that unfair or whatever.

I also do think there's still a fair amount of weasely marketing from Bluesky as well since they have made press releases and comments that make it seem like they're done with a complete federation implementation despite the fact they only really let you run the PDS and even that was very restrictive until a few days ago. I'm glad they have actually worked towards opening up it but then again there are still certain questions about their chosen architecture.

So do you see how that besides all the other things really does not do so much to instill trust in them? Gotta keep in mind the 30% prediction also wasn't just about their motives but also about how quickly they might burn through that funding which they are still doing as I said.

@mackuba @vetehinen They definitely did block federation with other nodes, and disallowed bridges. The fact that we're talking about new bridges existing is because they have been disallowed up until now.

I really appreciate the work going into bridging with Bluesky and Nostr.

I still think that bridges are not going to be important long term. The momentum is with ActivityPub.
