@sam@urbanists.social@failedLyndonLaRouchite @Loukas I think the thing to take out of all of this is that, objectively, the functionality the Bluesky authors wanted could've been built on ActivityPub. And that would've allowed it to interact with Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse.
But they specifically built this in a way so that it doesn't do that. Meaning that I can't follow my friends on Bluesky, and they can't follow me. There is no good reason for them to have done that.
@failedLyndonLaRouchite @Loukas The reason this matters is that it poses a very real threat to the existence of a Fediverse. The Fediverse allows you to follow and communicate with people *across social networks*. And this protocol completely removes the ability to do that.
If this gains popularity, it has the potential to become the norm, and that would not be a good thing. Because that interoperability aspect would be lost.
