   @egerlach @neurobashing @jwz No...There's no reliable interop here. Bluesky controls almost the entire ecosystem. The instant they decide they don't want to interop, they'll change one or more of the things they control to turn it off, even if you think some current or future aspect of AT-proto makes that impossible. (It does not.) The plan here is to build something that can only work if you trust Bluesky, for the threat model where you don't trust Bluesky. This plan is that dumb.

     @bobthcowboy @marcusb @egerlach @neurobashing
     Yes, it is 100% exactly that, all over again.

     Except this time with: soliciting donations from well-meaning dupes, then setting that money on fire.

     @marcusb @egerlach @neurobashing @jwz Isn't this exactly "anyone using XMPP can talk to Google Talk (until they couldn't because Google decided that wasn't valuable anymore and made some change entirely within their scope and broke it?)". Baffling why this lesson needs to be learned again.
