Post

We call them “posts”

Bluesky is an open network. This means we can eventually sort ourselves onto two apps, one that calls them posts and one that calls them skeets. All without losing our friends or followers.

Let us know, when you join the Fediverse. Then you can say, you're an open network.

Two open networks can coexist. Actually, several already do: ActivityPub was not the only protocol for distributed/federated social networks up to now.

Noticed you did not name the supposed other two. Wouldn't matter if you could, because no one knows them. If Meta (Facebook) can join the Fedi, and Twitter is working on their API to join the Fedi, does Blue Sky wish to be an island onto itself? Join the Fediverse, or stand alone.

You answered your own question. "Threads is joining the fediverse, and Twitter is next. Do you still want to stand alone?" "OH PLEASE GOD, YESSSS!!!"

It's also not really accurate to say Threads joined the fediverse? It's more like Threads lets you *syndicate* to the fediverse. It's opt-in per account on Threads and you can't reply to comments from outside Threads. So fediverse users are very much second class citizens.

...Which is kind of worse than Bluesky? Like, I think Bridgeyfed in theory allows for two-way conversations in at least some circumstances.
