Note that accounts on both networks must follow the main bridge account to work.

Kinda wish we had actual interoperability standards instead.
We have that, it’s called ActivityPub. BlueSky wouldn’t want that tho, they couldn’t control the entire network then, after all.
If the BlueSky protocol offers tangible benefits over ActivityPub, the BlueSky protocol could become the basis for ActivityPub 2.0. I don’t know much about the details, though.
The BlueSky protocol relies on central servers tho, I’m not sure if there’s much that ActivityPub can take inspiration from
Non technical person here, I would love to hear more about how decentralized (or not decentralized) the Bluesky protocol is compared to ActivityPub
Here is a good blogpost about it

Check out this mastodon thread and associated links

TL;DR Bluesky is not functionally federated nor decentralized, it is dubious if it ever will be and the layer of post sorting and moderation required to participate in Bluesky’s network is extremely computationally intensive and this aspect of Bluesky is NOT open source and is a proprietary black box.
The fediverse and activity pub are the future, even if the current hype train leaving the station (…who is paying for all the free drinks on that train and why?) makes it feel otherwise in the short term.
I am wondering why people run away from centralised corp twitter to mastodon only to later return to seemingly equally centralised corp bluesky…
Do we know if its the same people? I imagine that some people went to Mastodon and some to Bluesky, and very few use both
