Some personal news: Excited to team up with @snarfed.org to form A New Social, a non-profit focused on building cross-protocol services and tools for the open social web.

It's time for social media to be centered around people, not platforms. Let's build bridges 🌐

@quillmatiq @snarfed.org ooh this is cool! I've been pretty disappointed by how difficult it's been to reach people on bluesky from here, even with bridgy, so I'm hoping that this will encourage better interoperability between AP/AT

some more bridging we need is decentralized payment architecture. this would open up so many possibilities.

and also a way to bridge instances that host music to enable something like a decentralized Spotify, composed of musician websites. #funkwhale #bandwagon

@wjmaggos @snarfed.org Couldn't agree more - we've been discussing this already and hopefully bringing folks into a combined network helps folks find value in building here.

so I've been going through this list vqv.app and afaict nobody in the top 50 most followed accounts at least has turned on the bridge (outside of bluesky CEO Jay). I've asked the top 250 to do so with little response. really frustrating.

it might help to have an icon on accounts here and on bluesky that indicate we are bridged, like threads does with their little circle thing. something to push for maybe.

@wjmaggos @snarfed.org I've seen some third-party clients do this, and I couldn't agree more. Adds a touch more context that I think is really important.
