I'm sure some folks would just say that #PaulStanley of #KISS just needs to keep his "thoughts" to himself. But I've said it before, and I stand by it: I'd rather the assholes be vocal so I know who they are.
I don't keep up with with him to know if there were signs before this, but if there were not, I'm sad and mad in solidarity for the folks who are upset.
Relatedly, apparently #DeeSnyder of #TwistedSister agreed.
Anything federates if you build a bridge. Anything. So the whole "Bluesky is pretty much the Fediverse now because we can just build a bridge" is nonsense.
People build bridges to Twitter all the time with crossposting bots. I could scrape Facebook and post it over here. I could wire up an Arduino to my toilet and have it post every time I flush. Is my toilet natively a part of the Fediverse?
No. My toilet is not natively a part of the Fediverse. And neither is Bluesky.
this is a not a solution it's the #KISS path, it is working already.
The #KISS principle (keep it simple, stupid) suggests that the simplest solution is often the best, and in this case, bridging these different decentralized platforms may be the best approach. However, it's possible that some of these platforms may not want to cooperate, in which case there may be some conflict.
The #KISS path is to simply bridge them all and let them cooperate, as they are all a part of the #openweb family.
The more complex and messy path is that some of them might not want to do this... OK now we get to the part where piss is likely signal rather than noise. Let's draw a line, (a date is good) if they don't bridge, we let loose the pee, liquid trickling in will short out their servers.

@rabble it had better #UX and the @Gargron running it was an effective communicator at #KISS and built it out as a #4opens project alongside a healthy (white) lie about security and privacy. The rest of the projects lacked these things - Pleroma the obverse compaine was ripped apart by the #geekproblem then embraced by the right-wing. #Peertube was stuck in a good but very closed development for years. #Pixelfed is a little brother project to mastodon.
