I don't believe it's proper to say "Bluesky is connected to the fediverse" just because "a 3rd party bridge exists", but you do you.
Also that bridge needs to be enabled explicitly, too.

Partial connection problem with Threads and 3rd party bridge tools makes getting genuine statistial results very hard, because now "what kind of people enable bridges/opt-in connection features so they may interact with users on the other sites" will seriously affect the result Dare Obasanjo presented in his post.
If you saw on BlueSky that "Most consistant engagement with politics being most viral. Dislikes AI." (Quoting Dare Obasanjo's post here). Can you concludes that the whole fediverse is like that, just because Threads and Bluesky are partially connected to the fediverse? How many users enable wider connection? Among these users, how many of them advocate for political ideas, how many of them hate AI? Do these users faithfully represent "rest-of-fediverse" (Threads users + classic fediverse users that uses Mastodon/Pleroma/Misskey/etc) as a whole? If so, how are we supposed to use that part of data?
You should have known the answers to these questions better than me.
