But they’re (allegedly soon) federated and say they want to give control of the protocol over to an independent standards body. So like, half of the stuff you’re saying might not even really apply here.
Not inherently.
But since both Mastodon and Bluesky use some sort of public protocol, it is possible that people will develop some bridging software that allows both protocols to talk to each other. I think some people are already trying to build something like that, but I have no idea how well it will work/what the trade-offs will be. Maybe not every feature can be easily translated between the protocols.

I’m curious what lesson learned from twitter easily also applies to bluesky, as that’s genuinely not very clear to me.

Does this mean Mastodon users will be able to interact with Bluesky users?
