This dude wrote a platform that speaks like four different protocols and translates back and forth between them. You can use it to bridge your Fediverse account to natively talk to people on Bluesky, or Nostr, or IndieWeb.
This podcast episode is a reflection on the guy’s experiences, insights, and thoughts on doing this work. He also weighs in on the weirdness of making not-exactly-compatible systems talk to each other, some of the really weird UX of interop that surprises people, and some thoughts on where the network is going.
Really smart dude, well-spoken, co-founded Google AppEngine back in the day.
