Original post on hollo.social

Today @kopper shared a post on the fediverse titled _how to not regret c2s_, and I found it genuinely interesting to read, even if I'm not sure its proposed architecture actually solves what it sets out to solve.

The author's frustration with naΓ―ve #C2S implementations is well-founded. Slapping […]

Sometimes the best you get is that people whose work you've followed long enough to get an idea of their senses and who are close enough to judge think someone you're not sure about is okay to manage the CEO transition for something you use and would like to see thrive.

So for now, I'm convinced.

It is a good strategy, but more importantly, it gives people the agency to choose what platforms and protocols they want to use while still finding the communities they need to.

I wrote about it a couple years ago:

Beyond Mastodon and Bluesky - Toward a Protocol-Agnostic Federation You’ve heard of stuff like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Make an account on one, and it only works there. You can’t send a DM to your friend on Twitter from Facebook Messenger. You can’t browse yo...

I had a similar conclusion too: kyefox.com/beyond-masto...

"There’s no real competition. You hook your hot new platform in and already have a user base. Or connect your weird little goblin of a network with three people and talk to people outside."

This is proving to be the right way more and more. While some people wait, still, for Threads to cooperate:

The Bridgy crew refines connections
The Germ folks made E2EE DMs
@standard.site got together on a blogging lexicon
@rude1.blacksky.team led creation of an independent, compatible stack

ok this doesn't make sense, if bluesky and wafrn already talk to eachother then the bridge shouldn't be getting inbetween...

oh wow so it just sorta merges them together?

why does my bluesky account @wake.st show up on wafrn with a brid.gy name next to it? I thought wafrn wasn't using brid.gy for its atproto integration
