Summary of today

@julian this is such a sick idea

@julian Ah, gotcha - so less bridging protocols, more bridging non-protocol services to protocol-based networks. That's a *whole* other can of worms, but I would argue the correct approach would be to pick up something like @fedify or the existing ATProto PDS implementations and translate on top of those (like what Ghost did), then use bridges to connect to other protocols (also like what Ghost did!).

@julian All that said, one of my fears is a centralized bridge, so I *would* like to do this at some point if we have bandwidth.

@snarfed.org @anewsocial

@julian It's something @snarfed.org and I have discussed a few times, but it's a huge project to take on, and we'd probably wait until someone has a real need for it. We've spoken to a few partners, and everyone is good using our instance atm, but we know the steps we need to take to make it happen.

NB: We make it really easy for instances to set up a bridging switch + default custom domains already: https://fed.brid.gy/docs#bluesky-handle-api

@anewsocial

@julian Same, over and over

@ahimsa_pdx @julian many such cases!

@julian @benpate Iconic

@FenTiger @julian Yes! I believe @reiver will be posting all of these soon after the conference is done

@dansup And it was fantastic
