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?

If they're just a little bit better, it's an improvement. If we have to win through salami slicing, so be it.

Federation alone would be a massive improvement already. Because it practically infinitely increases competition to do better, since there was zero before.

It's all about setting up incentive structures so the ones in power and even the biggest assholes are compelled to do the right thing. And federation is a giant step in that direction.

what makes you say there was zero competition before?
