Bridgy Fed, which is working to connect the social network Bluesky with the wider fediverse (i.e., the open social web), which includes sites like Mastodon and others, will be the first app incubated within a new nonprofit called A New Social. The organization, announced Tuesday, aims to bring together developers, researchers, startups, and industry leaders building infrastructure for the open social web, including those adopting protocols like Bluesky’s AT Protocol and ActivityPub, which powers Mastodon, Meta’s Threads, and the rest of the fediverse.

Fun fact: If you use software that support following people like MBin, you can bridge your account too and follow BlueSky folk

    I mean that’s not the only thing, I can follow this MBin account that I’m using to talk with you from Threads, and I can interact with Threads posts as well, I’ve even gotten likes from there

    Something like that is impossible with Twitter, altho I wouldn’t be fully against the idea to reconnect with a few people I know who refused to leave it for whatever reason

    Also, look at the bright side, people that use Threads at least don’t use Twitter, I think it’s a small step in the right direction, no?

      Depends on why you dislike twitter.
