We call them “posts”

Bluesky is an open network. This means we can eventually sort ourselves onto two apps, one that calls them posts and one that calls them skeets. All without losing our friends or followers.

Let us know, when you join the Fediverse. Then you can say, you're an open network.

Noticed you did not name the supposed other two. Wouldn't matter if you could, because no one knows them. If Meta (Facebook) can join the Fedi, and Twitter is working on their API to join the Fedi, does Blue Sky wish to be an island onto itself? Join the Fediverse, or stand alone.

That’s what @ap.brid.gy is for.

BlueSky has silenced this bridge. It is the 3rd bridge to be silenced.

imagine being this confidently wrong

Prove it.

I admin a fediverse instance and this is cringe

when you hear some nobody german named "Linux is Best" come out of the sewers to be an annoying cunt about software

Sweet summer child. Do you really think those companies, which make money by selling eyeballs to advertisers, have good intentions towards the Fediverse? Have you heard of "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish"? Microsoft practiced that for about two decades very successfully, this still works.

I would not be surprised if that happens with BlueSky too. Can they not just make a protocoll and the OS companies make their apps (as E-Mail and Browsers) where we can browser through the social networks? and also the local algorithm is somehow under democratic control?

You answered your own question. "Threads is joining the fediverse, and Twitter is next. Do you still want to stand alone?" "OH PLEASE GOD, YESSSS!!!"

It's also not really accurate to say Threads joined the fediverse? It's more like Threads lets you *syndicate* to the fediverse. It's opt-in per account on Threads and you can't reply to comments from outside Threads. So fediverse users are very much second class citizens.
