If they do, people could just make a super-mastodon that federates both with Bluesky and any ActivityPub service, allowing people to just skip the ads. Investors won't like that.
nostr:npub1hykucplphuhelaxutcw4jw3vuu7gcg42czhqmk7jhchs8vdga4fsj73p33 After spending several months on Bluesky and working with the protocol (on building a PHP library for it), I realized it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Even if/when they do federate, the intent appears to be for large companies to run major portions of the protocol.
And Bluesky just converted to a C corp to take on venture capital.
I deactivated my account last week because I won’t get fooled again.
(I now have that song by The Who stuck in my head.)

Bluesky has federation active in their sandbox environment, and supposedly, you can request access to develop against it. I’m not sure how far along the bridge is, though. But yes, you’re right; Bluesky might not allow bridging if they’re able to figure out how to advertise over a federated protocol.
