Bsky federates. I follow several people from my Mastodon profile.
Edit: I should add a caveat here. Federation doesn't work as smoothly as Threads yet. You have to use a bridge service: https://fed.brid.gy/
For now. They're still in their growth phase. If they ever become dominant and they need to make money, they'll turn into a walled garden like every other. Everyone seems to forget that Twitter, Reddit and Facebook were also all about openness at the start
Absolutely, I don't trust them at all. There's a reason I'm on Mastodon and not either of the corporate platforms. It is nice to at least be able to follow people there though, and interact with them.
