Bluesky: Mastodon is Bad, actually
It’s like a shit version of West Side Story. how long before a Mastodon user and a Bluesky user fall in love while communicating exclusively over the fedi bridge
There’s also a third subset of people who say cross posting is bad, to which I say “cool”
Harry W.@sophie Never understood the "Cross posting is bad" concept.
The internet is about communication? Why is it bad to communicate in multiple places?

Dr. Sarah Pohl@LilithElina Really depends on the way you do it. I've seen some apps are coming out that enable cross posting, all feeds combined, and more.
Katzentratschen@hazz223 @LilithElina If both sides use https://fed.brid.gy they're able to communicate. You don't need an app for that and you don't need a second account.
lonely extrovert@katzentratschen @hazz223 @LilithElina so if i use brid.gy, do i open up a portal of evil to my home instance? i'm not quite clear on the techy details.
@rothko @hazz223 @LilithElina No other users on your home instance or any other instance are affected if you bridge your account – unless they bridge their account, too. If you boost a post of an un-bridged account, it won't show up on Bluesky. It's strictly opt-in.
@rothko @hazz223 @LilithElina Just compare my bridged profile page
https://bsky.app/profile/katzentratschen.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy
with my original profile page
https://mastodon.social/@katzentratschen
Moreover, only public posts are bridged.
@katzentratschen @hazz223 @LilithElina thank you!!! a group of old friends on FB is ditching it for bluesky and i'm all thanks but no thanks. this is helpful.
@katzentratschen @hazz223 @LilithElina so if i boost a post from someone over here, will it show up for any bluesky users that follow me here?
@rothko @hazz223 @LilithElina If and only if this someone bridges their account. Therefore OP's post doesn't show up on Bluesky.
