Are any of those I follow on X on Blue Sky?

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. A developer has created the Sky Follower Bridge which is a Chrome extension. The extension will take your X followers (or those you follow) and see if they have a Blue Sky account. It first identifies this list and you can they select those with accounts on both platforms to connect with your Blue Sky account.

I found that about half of those I followed on X had Blue Sky accounts and I now follow about half of this group on Blue Sky. Seems a reasonable start to building back my network.

The developer noted that Musk has a history of blocking applications that scrape the needed information from X and recommended that you are interesting in using this tool you act soon.
