TIL about Bridgy Fed and European.social during the excellent 'Strength through Diversity' panel at @publicspaces!

"Bridgy Fed is a decentralized social network bridge. It connects the fediverse, the web, and Bluesky." I'm really impressed with the coalition of open social web orgs working together!!

@Gina @_elena @bjoernsta @michael

Cool!

@Gina @publicspaces Is Bluesky among the supporters? Do the replies and faves actually show up over there?

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@astro @publicspaces I think it's a collaboration with Bluesky. I can't answer your other question, but maybe it's in the docs.

@Gina @publicspaces I'm really happy tools like Bridgy exists. I hope one day I can just have one account to follow everything on Activity Pub and AT Protocol. That would be so nice. Everyone would get the choice to connect to it or not as well, so folks who don't like either place can avoid it. I'm following Bluesky and Threads accounts from Mastodon and I'm like "This is so cool!"

@UnterDruck I should have worn it at the Ministry of Culture, too, as it turned out the dress code was super relaxed oh well next time
