this article, in explaining the difference between AT Proto and ActivityPub, also floats what i want to have happen too. the bridge is nice, but a different method *could* be better.

i'm not drunk you're drunk!!

there's apparently *another* social media entity called like Nostr or something? and its crypto focused? and that's where dorsey is?

wait, bsky isn't funded by dorsey anymore?

politely urging those on bsky to bridge their account so we can see it over here on mastodon! for bskyers just follow @ap.brid.gy.

and to bridge your masto to bsky just follow @bsky.brid.gy

it ties heavily into my beliefs about world creation - the world building we are always doing to make sense of everything we come into contact with. the connections that transform contact into world creation.

we find ourselves as part of the rhythm of different "forms-of-life" - both "real" and "artificial" - we move between these rhythms. we translate these rhythms with our own machines, our own flows. we become one instrument among many. signs arise through the connections we make, their movements make meaning, as signs pointing to signs. we let their rhythm move us. or it moves us whether or not we let it, more accurately.

i don't know why i continue to return to the idea that every form-of-life produces its own time.

when i was following agamben's work i found a version of this, stated slightly less focused on time. (mostly in The Highest Poverty, but i got there through Tiqqun/Invisible Committee/other Agamben works first, all of which felt like what they were saying could lead to this thought)

but again, i find another version of it in D&G's Anti-Oedipus. the flow (or flux) of machines, all connecting and disconnecting from each other, slicing off from the flow to produce another kind of flow. relational rhythm, from microscopic to macroscopic.

okay wait i have the funniest plan to get a million dollars from elon

i feel like i can't clean it up or bury it or anything either - touching dead crows is a big nono in crow society

found a teeny tiny dead baby crow in front of my house and it makes me so sad

yep! i now officially follow those accounts! it seems to be working well!

it seems to default to "follow request" - i don't know how that's going to get managed. maybe it's a "wait" state so that the system running the commands doesn't get overwhelmed? not sure. still testing.

okay i followed my first accounts via the bsky bridge - we'll see how this goes~

you're supposed to be able to invite users (10 a day i think) to bridge their accounts by DMing @bsky.brid.gy but so far when i've tried those users haven't received a DM...

one day we'll get legit integration but until then.....

okay, so, i found out that there's a bridge for mastodon and bsky. it's something i talked about for a while, i'm glad someone made it real.

the link is: https://fed.brid.gy/docs

it can send things from fedi -> bsky AND bsky -> fedi

all you have to do to make it work is follow the account. when you do so it will auto-generate an account on *its* AT protocol host "ap.brid.gy" and will send all of your PUBLIC (and only PUBLIC) posts to this account. but, in addition, it will also translate likes/boosts/etc between protocols.

if you want to *see* content from bsky, you have to ask that they also enable the bridge's function by following the account, but to do this all you have to do is DM the bridgy account. in doing so it will send them a DM on bsky, saying that someone requested they bridge their account by following over there and in doing so, just like before, it'll make an account here of all of their posts on bsky, which you can interact with, and your bsky "bot" account that got auto-generated earlier will post your replies there.

it's actually fairly straightforward, all things considered. follow the account, it'll create a mirror account - if you want to see someone else's content, DM bridgy and they'll DM that person and ask to bridge.
