@drewdevault @tomw In the article Christine mentions the centralization of the data through the relays. She even write that DM goes through Bluesky's private servers, and not throught AT at all. These are legitimate criticism to me.

If people think about Bluesky as a federated representative. They might loose trust on federation if it crash at some point.

@drewdevault I think we should stop dreaming about a potential unique protocol, to connect everyone, and that fit everyone needs. Their protocol seems easy enough to bridge to most of the other social networks (maybe even all of them). And their company seems open to this idea. Maybe it is enough to me?

But we need better bridges. Atm the existing solutions are not trusteable. If I connect to a bridge, I have no guarantee it will do its job, and ask my permission to share my posts to account that ask for them. I want for the bridges to reproduce the safeties we got here. Ask my permission for every handle that wants to "follow" me. And forward my posts for those handles, and uniquely those.
