I think the exodus is for real this time. The influencers and press have made their choice. I am not worried that it might not be #Mastodon or the #Fediverse.
I am glad it is Bsky over Threads, I think people are actually a step closer to the fedi thanks to @bsky.brid.gy and other features than if they went to Meta/Threads.
Onward and upward!

@chris @bsky.brid.gy @Canucks yeah. I think this is the right perspective. Bluesky is the next best option after Mastodon imo. I'm happy it's happening. It really feels like the exodus is real this time.
I hope Bluesky and Mastodon can play nice in the future. I know there is a bridge right now, but hopefully there's better in the future.

@mintiefresh @bsky.brid.gy @Canucks I was thinking tonight that when you look at the three, Bluesky, Threads, and Fedi.
I think Threads is already showing its hand when it comes to its attitude. While their immediate adoption of ActivityPub is good and gives automatic legitimacy to the Fedi, their business practice is much more like what people are fleeing, so I think they will be the least influential.
Mastodon and Fedi will benefit from that legitimacy and IF the community can continue innovating and being better for inclusivity and tolerance, then the future is bright.
There is a chance that Bluesky will be a flash in the pan, and the beneficiary is likely to be Fedi. Bsky’s bridge and promotion of their own protocol introduces the concept of Fedi to a larger audience.
If Bluesky “wins” then so does Fedi because it is already mostly integrated/Bridged and the bigger protocol, ActivityPub (thanks to Threads) is still more likely for Bsky to adopt or the two will merge.
If Bluesky doesn’t “win” then Fedi gets a big influx again and remains the better alternative to Zuck land.
My optimistic post for today. Sorry for the length.
