A libre networking project that's designed to bridge protocol spaces together announced its progress and intentions, and Mastodon users freaked out.

Bridgy Fed made a splash earlier this week by announcing its latest progress in connecting the Fediverse to Bluesky and Nostr. Sadly, not everyone was welcoming.

      No user cares about the language an application is written in, only about its features.

      Also, should Python developers not be allowed to use Rust libraries through bindings? What a weird and broken analogy.

        To be honest, I don’t know enough about either Rust or Python to continue with this analogy 😂

        I’m confused by your and the parents comments

        You can create an ActivityPub server with any server software you like, you can even ask GPT to make a skeleton flask app for an activity pub site and it will. I think there’s just an overlap in fediverse secs and that fans.

        ActivityPub is just a standard for how users can interact with a server, and how that server pushes data to other servers. What that data is is entirely up to the developers, it just needs to be roughly social media shaped.
