I feel people only like me for my moss. ;)
I do post a lot of moss though... I like moss.
"So what can you do now?
For immediate participation, the best bet is to start using and supporting #theFediverse platforms that exist, even if they are still copies of the #dotcons. They work, they are functional, and they serve as a stepping stone toward something better. But don’t stop there, push beyond them. Get involved with projects that are trying to break out of these patterns. Contribute to discussions, support developers, and help to fund & create the #bridges we desperately need."

"#TheFediverse doesn’t need to be one thing, that’s its strength. But if we let the #bridges decay, we lose the possibility of cross-pollination, of radical ideas seeping into #mainstreaming consciousness… Instead of fighting, as we do, to make one version of the #Fediverse dominant, maybe the real work is in keeping the network alive, messy, imperfect, but always connected. Because it’s in those #connections that real alternatives grow."

The #fediverse is a fascinating place. I was using #nostr and came across a post by @cstross but I couldn't reply to it on Nostr and I couldn't find it on #mastodon
I suppose technically this isn't a fediverse issue as it isn't really related to the way #activitypub works, but rather more related to the way bridges work.
Now I'm guessing this occurred because the post in question was deleted by Charlie (though I saw nothing untoward about it) or because it was a very good imposter on Nostr.
If it's the latter , it doesn't explain why the post seemed to come from Mastodon, albeit not from Charlie's usually address.
If it's the former then that is more understandable but maybe worrying, because it means deletions on Mastodon are not respected elsewhere.
Now Charlie being charlie, there's no way he isn't already aware of this, but I think it might be worth spreading the word to others.
@egent07 @RitaWerner @Heinzel Und es gibt Leute ( ) die die #Bluesky #Bridges blocken, aus verschiedenen Gründen. Sei es weil eben proprietär und bedenkliche Firmenstruktur oder weil keinerlei Interaktion möglich ist.
Insofern hoffe ich, dass sich die nie durchsetzen
(Und jetzt muss ich den Thread mal zurück verfolgen um zu wissen um was es eigentlich ging )
