[–] aniki@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago (2 children) Curious to see if this is/will ever be compatible with ActivityPub. https://atproto.com/guides/overview https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 19 points 2 years ago (1 child) Wasn't there a shitstorm recently because someone made a bluesky-mastodon bridge. (there seems to be a shitstorm when anyone does anything vaguely imaginative with mastodon though) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] s0ckpuppet@kbin.social 23 points 2 years ago (1 child) One of Mastodon’s biggest issues is all the whiny motherfuckers permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RoverRacecar@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago True! permalink fedilink source parent [–] chockblock@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children) Is it based on ActivityPub?

It also started as an internal project at Twitter, was funded by Jack, but then as it got popular amongst a more regular audience, he left when he kept getting pestered with @ mentions and anti-crypto stuff. He hangs out at Nostr now and from what I've been told, isn't really involved in Bluesky's meetings. There was an effort to bridge Bluesky/Atproto, ActivityPub and also Nostr together - Bridgy Fed - for when Bluesky started getting their protocol federating outside its own network. The issue was, the creator made it opt-out rather than opt-in. The AP fediverse collectively shat themselves, spreading their delusions about Bluesky, one guy called the creator a rapist for using public data and another threatened to sue/fine the creator. It was absolutely bonkers and that incident exemplifies a good part of why people find the fediverse to be toxic, moreso than anything involving Threads. permalink fedilink source parent
