     @mmasnick
     Mike, does this mean BlueSky instances are or are not integratabtle with Mastodon space?

     Why not work to improve/modify a W3C effort (Activity Pub, h/t @pluralistic) rather than develop yet another protocol (if I skimmed this accurately)?

     Why can’t this stuff be as interoperable as SMTP?

     @digiphile, you might be interested, too
     Besides, y’all should meet if you haven’t 😂😂😂

     @kegill at present, they are not. The AT Protocol is different than ActivityPub, which is close to SMTP in ways; there are efforts to bridge them, but they are controversial in some quarters: https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/14/bluesky-and-mastodon-users-are-having-a-fight-that-could-shape-the-next-generation-of-social-media/

     @mmasnick listed reasons why the AT Protocol may have advantages.

     @digiphile @kegill yes, what Alex said. They take fundamentally different approaches. Bridges will come.
