As decentralized social networks become more popular, the way different protocols interact could set the stage for the future of the web.

    Following that logic, if someone on Lemmy needs to chat with someone on Mastodon that bad they should just make an account.

    Calling someone lazy for building and running a service which bridges between different protocols is both dumb and rude.

      Mastodon is part of the fediverse though, and is open and a nonprofit. Bluesky is neither of those things, and that is why it’s different.

      And giving the resources from a free and open network to a for-profit corporation is both dumb and rude IMHO.

        Do some research before you make incorrect claims.

        AT (the protocol used by Bluesky) is an open protocol with an open reference implementation.

        AT supports federation (and with this bridge could be made part of the fediverse).

        Bluesky itself is also open, and while the company is for-profit that doesn’t change anything for people running their own Bluesky servers.

        I’ll say it again - you’re not giving them anything they aren’t already able to (legally) acquire.
