they (ATProto - the protocol used on Blueasky) are working towards it with people from outside and pitching projects/ideas towards that in ATProto conferences
ATProto and ActivityPub “done right” might actually converge to the same thing
i wouldn’t expect it to happen anytime soon though its nice there are Fediverse platforms like Friendica that can communicate with BlueSky meanwhile
now in regard to Meredith Whittaker i couldnt find nor ever heard of such thing being said
shes not very active but shes on BlueSky so you can see how much engagement she gets outside
why isn’t there a EU petition for government officials to leave it anyway? all i could find was this https://petitions.assemblee-nationale.fr/initiatives/i-2610 but more from searching than others spreading the word about it
also my issue with Mastodon is not having proper formatting going both sides, Friendica by default uses BBCode but for being customizable theres an addon a lot of people use to support Markdown code too, mbin works fine and support microblogs/threadiverse, posts from Lemmy and PieFed is shown only link and title on Mastodon but it displays title and content properly if its from Friendica/mbin/other microblogging supported platforms
i say they shall go to Mastodon for funding it (they get funds from the EU) otherwise i wish they would go to Friendica instead, they are already on BlueSky (not the politicians though, only few probably) btw
