"One of the central promises of open social media services is interoperability-the idea that wherever you personally decide to post doesn't require others to be there just to follow what you have to say."
"Bridging and managing your posts so they're viewable outside a singular source is part of the broader philosophy of POSSE, short for Post Own Site Syndicate Elsewhere."
"Instead of managing several accounts across different services, you post once to one primary site, then set it up so it automatically publishes everywhere else."
"Right now, broadcasting your message across social platforms can be a funky experience at best, deliberately broken up by oligopolists."
Interoperability in open social media services enables users to post without requiring others to be on the same platform. This concept is akin to a radio broadcast, where the message reaches audiences regardless of their location or device. Current social media platforms are not fully open, reflecting a choice to privatize the internet. The POSSE philosophy allows users to post once on a primary site and share it across multiple platforms, enhancing reach without account barriers. Bridging tools are necessary for communication between different protocols in the Fediverse and ATmosphere.
