I don't know, if this is technically feasible.

I think ATProtocol is doomed, so no.

Bluesky got too big too fast and has too many greedy corporate weasels already involved. For the time being, they're pretending to actually prefer an open protocol, but I think that's just a marketing ploy and it will never last. They're going to EEE it sooner or later.

No. You don't want bluesky making decisions on ap. It will end up in a Microsoft situation.

i’m fine with a bridge

@Teknevra What about just using both #friendica has a plugin to support #at (as well as #rss and others)

The two side philosophy and ideology is too different to for this to happen

this question is basically equivalent to asking "should Rust and Kotlin be merged into a single language?". the two protocols are VERY different on a foundamential level, merging them is just not possible without very deep changes. the closest one can get is either using an application which implements both protocols, or use a bridge.

For my own project I'm looking for a way to be protocol agnostic and support either, and ideally more. If you have ideas https://git.benetou.fr/utopiah/biggu_s_gate/issues/24 please let me know.

both do have scaling issues it seems, maybe some large scale investment would be nice - surely there’s some rich tech bros out there with cash burning a hole in their wallets
