Okay I finally did a full write up of the event I went to just before Christmas at @meta in San Francisco in which they laid out their plans for integrating Threads with the Fediverse. It's very long and thorough. Love to get people's thoughts. plasticbag.org/archives/2024/0

@tomcoates as someone who was at this event as well, I think this is a great writeup

@mmasnick @tomcoates Apropo of absolutely nothing, glad to see you back on the Fediverse. Hope you stick around a bit and the scolds pi$$ off this time around. You are a trusted voice.

@notthatkaren @mmasnick @tomcoates

I'm pretty sure they're mostly all in on BlueSky.

@maegul @mmasnick @tomcoates Yeah, correct. But I still want to encourage the voices I feel are important. Fruitless it may be, but at least I am trying. Sigh.

@notthatkaren @mmasnick @tomcoates

My, perhaps uninformed/naive take, is that for those that value decentralisation, the fediverse being "friends" with bluesky/atproto will make more sense over time.

BlueSky/atproto is closer to a different take on decentralisation than anything else going on at the moment. And the fedi and bsky may be better off "together" than "enemies".

@maegul @notthatkaren @tomcoates bridges will be built, though there are some fundamental differences in the two protocols that may limit the usefulness of the bridges beyond just the sharing of content.

I still worry about the allergic reaction to algorithms here, and greatly appreciate Bsky's approach towards algorithms.
