Yeah it's very frustrating to pour so much time into a project like Fediverse and see people who somehow completely didn't get it write these confused complaints about it. Maybe (assuming BlueSky actually opens the protocol) they'll pick stuff up by talking to people from Fedi when its bridged.

I don't think Bsky will ever bridge to the fediverse willingly. I think "federation" will remain a pie-in-the-sky, with just the cosmetic "your own domain username" band-aid on the still-proprietary walled garden code.
