Also bluesky isnt part of the fediverse so this doesnt even really belong in here…

There are four other posts about Bluesky or ATProto on the front page of !fediverse@lemmy.world (when viewed from lemmy.zip), so I guessed otherwise.

I’d like to see what the metrics for the Fediverse would look like if it included federated Threads users.

I’m just going to respond to what you said before you edited your comment to be a reaction gif.

Since (as of November of last year) a majority of Bluesky’s user base is non-technical, they have don’t have the knowledge or motivation to switch to another PDS. If 30 million users joined mastodon.social, the fediverse would also be centralized.

The only way for Bluesky to be decentralized by the metrics you use is for them to force users onto other PDSes.

Ok but it’s federated.

I’m literally just a guy

At no point in this conversation did I ever rely on my own credibility to make an argument.

I’m gay.

There are already “other Blueskies” out there, and you can already port your identity to them.

However, most users haven’t, and most users are not motivated to do so. Thus, OP created a website.

Yes. That’s the idea.

The tradeoffs Bluesky made to achieve that means that Bluesky doesn’t have private posts. In fact, Bluesky doesn’t have private blocks.

It’s two way bridging. The issue is that Bluesky users also must opt-in to having their posts be bridged to Mastodon (by following @ap.brid.gy).

I actually still don’t understand why one would be in favor of federation but opposed to bridging. In esscence, bridging is just federation.

Why?

I do wish that Lemmy instances would do this.
