Well it gets harder and harder to differentiate what is and is not part of the fediverse. With the fully implemented 2 way bridge called Bridgy Fed you can carry on completely conversations from the fediverse with bluesky people interwoven in the same conversations…
well, to me its part of the fediverse if it uses activitypub. You can bridge whatsapp, telegram and mastodon with matrix and a minecraft server, that doesnt make them be a part of the matrix protocol or the fediverse.
Whatsapp, telegram and Minecraft are centralized, so there’s no way to have a two-way communication between someone on one of those and someone on the fediverse, whereas with the bridgy bridge it speaks native activitypub and native atproto and acts as the gobetween. There is not anything like this for any other type of bridge I have ever used. Now something like this could indeed be done with Matrix and there have been some attempts at this but I still haven’t seen any of them work in practice
Wow, lots of fediverse projects I had no idea existed! Epicyon for example. Although I dont think bluesky is part of the fediverse…
