I have been watching both spaces for many years (almost the beginning of fedi) and Bluesky when it was just a discord room before Jay was chosen. There is a major shift going on where some of the ideas that have been talked about in various shapes across various communities are being implemented with nice interfaces and able to be used by "normal people" aka not people who know how to patch their Linux kernal.
Shout out to WAFRN (
@adminWafrn - software development and instance info) and
@anewsocial for taking the uncomfortable position of straddling the space inbetween protocols. I think this is truly the strategy that is going to be needed if we want to "win" the push towards an open social web for the whole internet.

It is a good strategy, but more importantly, it gives people the agency to choose what platforms and protocols they want to use while still finding the communities they need to.
I wrote about it a couple years ago: https://www.augment.ink/bridges-the-last-network-effect/
