Bluesky managed to go offline practically entirely. I count on you folks to spork the hell out of this.

Not sure if your information is outdated or if you're using a different definition of federate, but this blog post says they have support for a degree of federation: https://bsky.social/about/blog/02-22-2024-open-social-web

Hmm thanks. It looks like you can set up a server with their protocol but it doesnt use activitypub. So it is technically federated but its not part of the whole mastodon/lemmy/pixelfed/etc fediverse.

This is really shitty and just creates a whole lot of unnecessary work for everyone if they want to reach bluesky users. If you were slightly more cynical you could say they skipped over the Embrace step and are already at the Extend step, trying to split the fediverse.

I wouldn't attribute malice for... not using the same protocol others are? And the unnecessary work is posting on Bluesky too instead of just the fediverse?

Twitter was never part of the fediverse, so moving to Bluesky, even though it's not on the same protocol, is still a step in the right direction. They're not taking anything away from the fediverse... Well, they might be taking some users away because they've hit the critical mass of userbase to let people see what they want to see instead of the one-size-fits-all Linux Star Trek Leftism blend we've got over here, but people who are tired of that would be leaving Lemmy eventually anyways.

Its like Apple refusing to use USBC properly. Yeah it might be legal and not clearly malice, but its so stupid that its almost worse than malice. At some point when the standards have been sufficiently established and proven to be working, then not using them becomes basically malicious.

Well sure, but the fediverse is nowhere near that ubiquitous.
