I perfectly well understood what you meant. The issue is that bluesky is barely different from xitter and threads. If those two brought an open source app I wouldnt touch that either. Mind you, meta releases open source stuff, as does microsoft. Just because they’re evil doesnt mean they wouldnt do it.

We have an ongoing debate in the fediverse if we should be open to (e.g.) federating with those services if it comes to it (in case of threads, it did). I‘m a signee of the fedipact but I hold all billionaire media in that regard for the future.

Working on intercompatibility is the same thing and everyone has the right to do whatever they like. I have the right to let you know that there are risks involved. One example out of the top of my head: bluesky could decide to block your app or display ads for the „real app“ since it is a proprietary backend that you have to call from the app.

I feel like billionaire media isnt okay so no, the thought would never ever cross my mind.

But i can see how different folks need different strokes so go ahead.

All I ask is that folks keep in mind that this is a centralized social media platform that has a size advantage over the fedisverse (i assume) and therefore poses a threat of barren wasteland attack.
