Good. That means she actually cares enough to go for other possibilities. I'm also certain that there's at least a portion of their supporters who would crucify her if she wasn't also on Bluesky.

By the way, do you know if BlueSky is open to the idea of federation? As anyone heard if there's interest in it?

I read somewhere here on Lemmy someone commenting that the CEO of Signal Meredith Whittaker was inclined to be a part of the push for open protocols as well. Don't know if that is true though. Didn't seek to verify it.

But I always want to know who does support the good fight for what the internet is supposed to be.

Blusky as far as I understand isn't much better than X if you want to leave the Silicon Valley techbro culture and VC funding.

Yeah, I think the same. But if they work towards federation, they're at least on the right side of things. Unlike Meta, X and most of Silicon Valley.

they (ATProto - the protocol used on Blueasky) are working towards it with people from outside and pitching projects/ideas towards that in ATProto conferences

ATProto and ActivityPub “done right” might actually converge to the same thing

i wouldn't expect it to happen anytime soon though its nice there are Fediverse platforms like Friendica that can communicate with BlueSky meanwhile

now in regard to Meredith Whittaker i couldnt find nor ever heard of such thing being said

Oh, thanks. That is very good news.

In regards to Meredith Whittaker and Signal... If I remember correctly when I read that rumour, it was in regards of the push that the EU has going on for Message Apps to open their protocols.

Delta Chat for example, already has open protocols with emails. But there's no allies joining in on the message app front.

As one would expect, Meta is fighting this with WhatsApp and Messenger. The fact they don't connect both of these, with them being within the same company tells us all.

But I haven't been following this as closely as I probably should. So don't know if that Signal rumour is remotely true.

The EU push for it is true though. But if they'll manage to enforce it is another conversation entirely.
