Bridgy Fed, which is working to connect the social network Bluesky with the wider fediverse (i.e., the open social web), which includes sites like Mastodon and others, will be the first app incubated within a new nonprofit called A New Social. The organization, announced Tuesday, aims to bring together developers, researchers, startups, and industry leaders building infrastructure for the open social web, including those adopting protocols like Bluesky’s AT Protocol and ActivityPub, which powers Mastodon, Meta’s Threads, and the rest of the fediverse.

Fun fact: If you use software that support following people like MBin, you can bridge your account too and follow BlueSky folk

    Personally I wouldn’t enjoy sorting through hundreds of twitter scam bots every day just for the sake of choice.

      Then you can choose to block twitter. But don’t say that because YOU want to block twitter that EVERYONE should.

        I’ve yet to meet a single person that enjoys twitter bots, but hey maybe the people running them would love to interact with the fediverse!
