BounceA new technology that adds an important component to the open internet, release For the public on Monday. The protocol protocol deportation provides a service that allows users of open social networks such as Bluesky and Mastodon to transfer follow -up charts between their accounts, although networks depend on different protocols.

Today, Mastodon users can not be satisfied with the service Transfer their account To a different mastodon server, while Bluesky is Technology development This allows users to deport their account to a new PDS (the Bluesky term for “Personal Data Server”) on its network. However, Mastodon works on Activitypub and Bluesky to the AT protocol, which restricts the ability to deport accounts across the two platforms so far.

To work, Bounce uses the technology that was developed for the first time Literature feedIt is a tool that connects Mastodon and Bluesky by making user profiles in one visible service on the other hand.

To transfer accounts, the Bounda first transmits the user’s Bluesky account to an account that extends to the two networks, then to the Mastodon user account. This deportation also supports Pixelfed, an Instagram social application that also works on activitypub, such as Mastodon.

At launch, Bounda can deport users from Bluesky to Mastodon or Pixelfed, but not the other way around. This is because the Bluesky infrastructure currently allows users to only move from their servers, but do not allow the deportation again. When this changes, Boundal will launch the deportation in the opposite direction as well.

In addition, the first adoption must realize that once their Bluesky account is transferred, they will not be able to use their Bluesky credentials to log in to the application again or others in protocol -based services again.

Bounce’s Bota is available from Monday and aims to the first adopters and open web lovers who want to try the service and provide comments. Although the service is open to the public, users must recognize the deportation process before adhering to the transfer of their accounts, given that it is not possible after returning to Bluesky after leaving them.
