There does not have to be a “winning” protocol.
Actually, from the perspective of investors looking to make a profit off of Bluesky there does?
The ActivityPub people are naive as heck if they think this is an innocent situation, a LOT of money is at stake. Words about this just being a positive relationship are meaningless in reassurance.
There doesn't have to be a "winning" protocol because insufferable obnoxious Twitter refugees need a home, and that home is Bluesky, which keeps literal millions of them the hell out of my fedi.
It's a good thing.
I hope they're saying "the AT protocol is obviously an attempt by Twitter Rasputin to subvert the fediverse and create his own black-mirror version" and "while it might seem innocuous to just allow interoperability with the AT protocol, everything that strenghten the legitimacy of the AT protocol and works with it, empowers it, it is just another blitzscale play where you'll under discover the trap once it's too late"

Seriously, this is now my favorite summary of the fediverse.

Venture Capitalists won't pay for not-invented-here jabber clones. So sure, sign a death warrant if you want to be targeted by signing an insignificant public list of who should Investors wet next.
