Kinda wish we had actual interoperability standards instead.

We have that, it's called ActivityPub. BlueSky wouldn't want that tho, they couldn't control the entire network then, after all.

I just wish this was a native function of one or both platforms. What a feather in Bluesky's cap to say that they're interoperable with Threads, for instance.

People are repeating the same problems of Twitter.

Yes, although the protocol is already open, which I think mitigates the risk slightly. Bluesky is also organized as a public benefit corp, which mitigates the risk almost not at all but is interesting. If Bluesky begins to go the way of Twitter, other corporations or entities can make interoperable replacements easily. That was not so for Twitter.
But in general, yes. This is the same song but a different verse. People have been so blinded by the brokenness of the internet as it is now that an interoperable protocol doesn't make any sense to them.

Bridgy Fed creator thinks about making it opt-in by default on the BlueSky side, there's a discussion on GitHub that you can see there

It’s easy enough to set up. But fragments the posts. We need native bridging so one post on one platform is auto posted to your account on the others.
-
I am wondering why people run away from centralised corp twitter to mastodon only to later return to seemingly equally centralised corp bluesky...
-
Do we know if its the same people? I imagine that some people went to Mastodon and some to Bluesky, and very few use both
-
People on Mastodon are quite vocal about BlueSky, so I doubt that many people switched. I think that BluSky gained its audience from Twitter users mostly.
-
Because Mastodon basically suck unless you know what you're doing?

It's just complicated enough that only power users will use it. At least on what it looks like at the moment.

I've found some major accounts:

If you are using MBin you theoretically can also bridge your account, however it doesn't work well at the moment
