The Washington Post is now reporting on latest events with Bluesky and Mastodon. There’s a lot of context they’re missing, though.
While it’s true that ActivityPub and AT Protocol are rival protocols, there’s already ways to bridge the divide.
For one thing, there’s bridges like @fed.brid.gy@fed.brid.gy that ease the divide. And there’s federated services like WAFRN (made by @gabboman@app.wafrn.net) that use both protocols—allowing users to talk to Mastodon and Bluesky.
