Whichever the outcome, this outcome will have an impact on the Fediverse!
If #bluesky raises a ton, many other companies are going to get started and flood the space.
If they aren't very successful, the venture money will stay out of the space.
Which is something many people in the #Fediverse would prefer, I realize that. But whatever we all prefer, the impact will be felt.
@j12t I’m hoping for Threads’ full integration with ActivityPub being the tipping point for fediverse adoption, and the protocol maturing because of contributions made by them. Bluesky still feels very much like a duplicative service on its own island.
