I’ve been working on adding @standard.site articles/publications to @mackinac.social. It’s getting close, hoping to release as a labs feature soon.

Mackinac supports custom verifications via @microcosm.blue. In settings -> verifications, you can set which verifiers you trust. You can verify users in the UI and manage your verification records.

*puts on Bridgy Fed hat* Mastodon and Bsky are architected for two very different kinds of people, and if a mass # of users were to interoperate via bridges, the benefits of each would be so much clearer and people could use what makes sense for them

We want to make bridging feel as native as possible. These feature are just the start.

@mackinac.social, built by @whiteside.io, is an open social web client that's thinking multi-protocol and bridging-first! John's added a *ton* of unique features we've never seen before, so we wanted to outline a few of them in a thread 👇🏼 1/🧵

Mackinac is available in beta as a PWA! We’re looking to build native apps for both Android and iOS in the future. Lots more to come!

The goal of Mackinac is to make it easy to connect people on the Social Web, no matter which protocol they are on.
