With BlueSky moving towards finally opening up federation, I'm interested in how people feel about it?

Would you be open to the idea of Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, and other Fediverse platforms adopting the AT protocol in order to federate with it?

If those technical hurdles could be overcome, would you support your instance federating with BlueSky?

Does the same go for other commercially-owned platforms, such as Threads and Tumblr?

@ajsadauskas @fediverse they have no interest in it other than scraping and selling data, and using the broader fediverse to boost their own numbers to make it appear like a successful platform.

There is no benefit to us to do it, only benefit to them. I question the motives. Who benefits if not us? Why?

Why would we let a money-motivated, privacy-hating horde federate?
