   Bluesky is proprietary software that doesn't federate. Threads is proprietary software that federates. What a world.

     @tassoman >EU laws against closed SNS
     
     Can you explain this? I've heard of it before, but I don't believe it.

     Threads federates because of EU laws against closed SNS.
     They needed something "ready made" to connect the 4 mastodonts they made, then something easy for spreading more ads.
     Bluesky has an open protocol (is it?)

     @alex @tassoman https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/24/dma-political-agreement/. I don't think it's actually law yet.

     @Sioctan Minds is the OG Open Source social media platform. That was their entire selling point before federation was even a thing. They predate even GNU Social. That's why it's so awesome they're federating with us now. https://gitlab.com/minds/engine

     @alex open but not agpl or well documented, so you have to trust them it's the code they're running

     @PurpCat What's missing is the bgs. The centralized database and heart of what makes bsky.app work.

     @alex so the bgs is in that repo...but there's no documentation on how to run it yourself because they don't want you to.
