@whiza There are various initiatives, yes but it is obviously easier if various networks used a common, open protocol for communication then moving camp is less of a problem and cross platform communication means we each, with privacy and safety uppermost can communicate across these platforms eg: right now Mastodon, pixelfed, Flipboard, ghost (substack alternative) and WordPress all speak to each other.

@whiza I guess the short answer is that the open protocol that the fediverse is based around , activitypub allows movement around platforms or Instances that adopt it but can't do so much about moving people from existing closed platforms other than I vite them to join you. The hope is that we could all talk to each other despite our platform choice if they all used the same open protocol (activitypub)though activitypub can talk to ATProto (bluesky) via a "bridge"
