   @erikkemp I'm aware of it and I even did it in the past to bridge my GoToSocial account.

   It's just that the culture of the two places is SO DIFFERENT.

   Bluesky reminds me of the old Twitter days and a desire of broadcasting messages to friends and strangers with the ultimate goal of being seen. By as many people as possible.

   The Fediverse to me feels more about genuine connections, sans ego. Learning, conversing...

   I realize this is a highly subjective personal take / I respect differences

     @erikkemp yeah I don't like speculating but maybe part of the appeal of the other place is the broader audience (as in, not so niche).

     I don't know, I'm just sad to see for every one post they publish here, they publish 10 there... with a very different tone, too.

     Others (including favorite authors, photographers, cinematographers) have completely abandoned Mastodon in favor of Bluesky and aren't even bridging their accounts

     @erikkemp yes. an issue I see is interesting people with both Fediverse and Bluesky accounts who now post far more frequently on the latter... and they're not bridging because they have accounts in both places.

     So one would assume they've gone quiet on social but they are in fact posting so much more frequently there...

     @_elena Maybe because interesting people think they have to stay interesting and that they can only achieve that by reaching more people with their own thoughts, instead of engaging in conversation with people and learning about other perspectives?

     And they see that on Bluesky they get more likes, shares, impressions, compared to Mastodon, and move there?

     Just speculating here, I don't actually know their reasoning.

     @_elena Mm I never experienced old Twitter so I don't really know what that vibe was or what the Bluesky vibe is now :P

     I want to follow some people and if they are really keen on not entering the open social web this is a way to still see their posts. I guess it's only people who I already know, or who pop up here by others sharing their stuff.

     It's only 14 people at the moment though.

     The fediverse to me is both curated information streams (broadcasts) and genuine connections, I guess.
