I guess I have not completely written off the Atmosphere as a community. I do applaud the progress that has been achieved, and wish them all the best.

And with efforts like https://github.com/msonnb/fedisky and https://github.com/ThisIsMissEm/activitypds, and wafrn already supporting both protocols, who knows, maybe there will be room for both in the future!

Blacksky is already running independently. Eurosky and Northsky are also making progress.

The network is slowly decentralizing, see https://atp.fyi/network

Not sure if the efforts will be successful, maybe Bluesky enshittifies before the network meaningfully decentralizes, and they'll bring it down with them.

Maybe they won't. We'll see!

We won't, but they never don't.

Thank you! And congrats, that's a big milestone!

We're well over 140K accounts bridged, approaching 150K I believe ☺️

@mackuba @doktorzjivago

That's because only fediverse accounts need to be on the PDS, Bluesky accounts already have their own PDS to begin with.

The bridge bot on Bluesky has 67.2k followers so that's the number of Bluesky users who have opted in.

Still short with 109k accounts. @mackuba might not count spam accounts but I doubt that accounts for it all.

@doktorzjivago

On https://blue.mackuba.eu/directory/pdses I see atproto.brid.gy as the largest PDS with 41,787 accounts.

That's quite a lot! But then is the rest accounts/blogs bridged between other platforms? Or is the site missing data?

Maybe @quillmatiq can shed some light on this?
