No, because it's not
What counts as apart of the Fediverse then? Is it the protocol of ActivityPub or that it connects all together? As there is a bridge for Bluesky.
Basically yes.. I mean.. you could just look it up and see the sources say the same thing about activitypub
Side note: the fedigram is a WILDLY better logo for the fediverse than the asterism.
Yeah. Some dude came and suggested the asterism iirc. I don't see anyone other than a few on mastodon using it. Looks ugly.
The fact that it needs a bridge is what makes it not federated. Federation allows for interconnection without bridges, because everything talks the same protocol. You can bridge Discord to Matrix, and that doesn't mean Discord is federated.
The reason is because it's just more corporate sloth that has fake federation. If it was even remotely realistic to run a Federated service people would be by the dozens because they have way more users than we do. The only working Federate ironically the activity Pub Bridge
If being able to have a bridge is the qualification for the Fediverse, things like Discord and Telegram would count too
