Many, including me, have had enough of Musk’s X and are looking to move. The challenge is the network effect – how you do continue to interact with the group you have on the service you want to leave. Federation is supposed to solve this issue. but the old school and large platforms are not part of the federation. Here is the start of a solution.

It first identifies this list and you can they select those with accounts on both platforms to connect with your Blue Sky account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
