blue_berry comments on Bluesky continues to soar

Even if it doesnt have much impact on activitypub-fedi, I think this is good news for the fediverse in general. X is loosing more and more relevancy and microblogging is more and more happening on federating services.

I'm having trouble figuring out how bluesky is part of the fediverse at all.

From my understanding it doesn't federate with anything.

It's like saying a hamburger is really just a cheeseburger......you just need to add cheese.

It has an adapter that integrated with the current protocol.

Oh great. That bridge even federates with the bitcoin bros' network (nostr)

Which one is that. I guess I've been left out of the loop.

Maybe they mean Nostr? If so, describing it as "the bitcoin bros' network" is a bit misleading, since the "crypto" portion of Nostr is short for "cryptography", not "cryptocurrency".

Ah, so the kind of crypto bro, that instead of a fistbump, does a diffie-hellman key exchange instead?

Oh yeah, no. I literally mean the majority of the community there. All I see there is blockchain and bitcoin shit.

I think Nostr might unironically be my favourite platform, simply because it keeps those toxic morons away from the fediverse.

I really like the Nostr protocol, though. It's too bad the network is so inundated by cryptocurrency topics.

It's simple, it has a nice extension process (standing on the shoulders of giants), and it's super easy and lightweight to self-host. It reminds me a lot of the early days of http, when it was more common (as a developer) to telnet to port 80 and just type in a couple of lines of header and get a response.

Sadly, Nostr's association with cryptocurrency, and the fact that 90% of the traffic on it is cryptocurrency created posts, has been a severe handicap.

In theory, bluesky can federate with other apps but it is currently the only one using their protocol, bluesky servers can federate with each other and when a new project using atprotocol appears it will probably be able to federate with that

You can see other instances at work in the app already. There is an @ symbol that says where the message comes from, and those differ from each other already.
