Bluesky was short term disastrous for the potential of Mastodon as a Twitter alternative but in the end it might have been necessary. This place wasn't ready, and journalists and left activists were much better able to form a functional ecosystem there. When we can share content from there back here it's gonna be so good.
@misc Friendica can mirror bluesky for you. I think you can do the same for mastodon with fed.brid.gy. I just have not as of yet had a reason to join bluesky.
@anubis2814 When you say "mirror" do you mean I could boost posts from there to a friendica account here, and they would be visible to that account's followers?
I could see Bluesky becoming the blue check space of the fediverse. A stage where more prominent people can have their public conversations. That's an important function. But here is where us hoi polloi can talk with each other. Having both is where the magic happens.
@misc same user name? I was on there really early. The feed was in Farsi Chinese, and English. A bit of a ghost town for a black American and the masses weren’t interested 😳
@preppydude jbaer.bsky.social over there :) It's definitely come a long way - and there are more Black folks over there than here… of course that's not saying much...
