Note that accounts on both networks must follow the main bridge account to work.

    We have that, it’s called ActivityPub. BlueSky wouldn’t want that tho, they couldn’t control the entire network then, after all.

      If the BlueSky protocol offers tangible benefits over ActivityPub, the BlueSky protocol could become the basis for ActivityPub 2.0. I don’t know much about the details, though.

        The BlueSky protocol relies on central servers tho, I’m not sure if there’s much that ActivityPub can take inspiration from

          Non technical person here, I would love to hear more about how decentralized (or not decentralized) the Bluesky protocol is compared to ActivityPub

      The lack of account portability means activitypub is unsuitable for both bsky and just in general.

        They could have also worked to implement that into ActivityPub but they still chose to reinvent the wheel

        Yeah, bluesky has a bunch of features, notably account portability, which was specifically designed into the ATProtocol.

        The purpose of the ATProtocol was never to federate with Activitypub, it was to build a more feature rich and scalable “federated” protocol.
