I use both Mastodon & Bluesky & I know Jack definitely wants BlueSky & all its tentacles touch as content farms as much as Zuck does.

Otherwise, are they different places with different interactions and cultures that actually complement each other? Yes. Except at least one you are paying the piper.

I think I’d prefer a client that merely read both in one timeline. So watch for BlueSky APIs to shut down next, despite any lip service to federation.

I keep thinking this ... that in this whole decentralisation project ... the value of making aggregating/powerful clients seems entirely untapped.

Oh, people are working towards aggregation apps, it is just that that is one of the last things some platforms would want to support. Unless you let them scrape user data, inject ads.

It was a trend and practice 20 years ago too. As was the internet before that. Open. Walled gardens wasn’t a business model always, simply providing seeds seemed enough.
