My every-so-often reminder for folks on #Bluesky to bridge their accounts.
It's really easy and more people can see your posts/music recommendations/photos of Wimpy restaurants (although that last one might be @darkoutside.co.uk@bsky.brid.gy-specific).👇
The request of a manual permission from Bluesky user side is not gonna change for a long time.
They put on a web page to try to simplify the process
#wafrn has built in native #bluesky support, meaning, if you selfhost a wafrn server, bluesky users won't need to opt in to interact with you
Starting to think Bluesky’s ATProtocol got a few things right that Mastodon and ActivityPub might have missed. Have a look at the “Why not use ActivityPub?” section in the ATProto FAQs. I think they make some compelling points. Is ATProto actually the better protocol for its intended purpose? #fediverse #atproto #bluesky #activitypub #mastodonhttps://atproto.com/guides/faq#why-not-use-activity-pub
"Oh, Ghost is no longer just this quiet box, where I go and type something and then hope someone read it, and try and figure out by going to all these places if someone read it. Now it feels alive."

I love this description! Totally captures how I felt when I first got on the fediverse, after years of lonely blogging, and started having conversations and making friends (some of whom I've met at virtual conferences or even in person).

"At the beginning I thought it would be a nice idea to have the different layers ... the complicated stuff like the big firehose as a service, and ... smaller services that connect to that big one, to ... lower the barrier to be part of the network.
But to implement a [PDS] is still so much to do ... it could be even impossible to do that with PHP on a shared hosting environment."

El #Fediverso hace tiempo que está estancado en una cantidad de usuarios relativamente estable, de actualmente 1.1M de usuarios activos mensuales.
No están tan lejos en cantidad de usuarios como pudiera llegar a parecer. Aunque ninguna está ni cerca de los ~500M que tiene Twitter.
Datos que ofrezco porque me gustan los gráficos 🤓

La photo en question représente des autochtones d'Amazonie !
Pour autant #Meta refuse de rétablir le compte de #MrMondialisation. Personne n'est dupe du fait que c'est un prétexte pour censurer le positionnement #politique du site.
Moralité : tous les #GAFAM sont à boycotter d'urgence.
Bientôt sur le #Fediverse, MR Mondialisation ?
While I was lying in the hammock yesterday (clicking on my iPhone), I started thinking about the current state of the "Twitter diaspora", the cross-posting, bridging and separation… and I ended up with this blog post 😅
TLDR: let's try to settle on the open networks, Bluesky & Fedi, let's connect them well, and let's move away from Twitter.
Wie immer ein Vergnügen @pluralistic zuzuhören - insbesondere der Teil über socialmedia/ #mastodon / #bluesky ist on point!

![How do I get started?
To bridge your Bluesky account into the fediverse and interact with people there, log in here, then click the Enable button. Alternatively, you can bridge your account by following @ap.brid.gy on Bluesky.
After a few minutes, your Bluesky account will appear in the fediverse as @[handle]@bsky.brid.gy. For example, @snarfed.bsky.social on Bluesky is bridged into the fediverse as @snarfed.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy.
Alternatively, you can find and follow bridged fediverse accounts without bridging your own account, but they won't see your posts or interactions.](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/800/264/587/244/928/original/56e53598d2182074.png)
