BLUESKY AND MASTODON USERS ARE HAVING A FIGHT THAT COULD SHAPE THE NEXT GENERATION OF SOCIAL MEDIA

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

A developer recently released a bridge to connect Bluesky's AT Protocol with Mastodon's ActivityPub. The networks use two different protocols, meaning that their users can't natively interact. The release appeared to be controversial - it triggered an intense debate on the project's GitHub issue page. Integrating the protocols together could mean that users' posts show up in places they didn't anticipate. The way that these protocols interact with one another could set the stage for the next era of the internet.
