    it seems like one of the key defining principals of the fediverse is platform evolution - mastodon, bluesky, and lemmy are just going to be footnotes in history.

      Whichever one you prefer (I’m on Pleroma’s side in this fight) ActivityPub is what’s here to stay.

      Only if they squander their lead. So long as they innovate in ways befitting the fediverse form, they will probably maintain their position. That said, it seems to me like modular systems like bonfire will probably leapfrog the existing platforms pretty quickly.

    Even though, I am not fan of “Everyone gets one bluesky without any consent” (and what happens to our data ?). Having activity pub as a way to communicate between bluesky and Threads really limit what these big evil actor can do to the fediverse.

    One “evil actor” having 10 times more use as the fedi is dangerous, having 2 bigs actors 10 bigger than the rest of the fedi, seems to somehow limit the risk. Feel like the feature might more be used by Threads people to talk with bluesky than by Mastodon people to talk with Threadsky
