@laurenshof Right, which is why they won't. I mean, it would be a really nice thing to do, to bring the social web together.
The tool already exists, seems to be working well enough, and I'm sure its developer would be happy to not to have to support it indefinitely. If the tables were somehow reversed, people here would jump on the opportunity, I think.
@laurenshof To me this just shows that they're not interested in connecting people as much as taking over a market.
And that's fine, I guess. But really off-putting.
@stefan Well other question: what would the rest of the ecosystem get out of it? I wasnt expecting people see it as potentially beneficial for bluesky to own the primary bridging infrastructure tbh, wouldve expected you to see that as a negative
@laurenshof You're right. I didn't really consider that this bridge handles more than just Bluesky, so disregard that.
It's just frustrating that they had to split the social web instead of trying to help fix whatever inadequacies ActivityPub has with their millions of dollars in funding.
