Reminder: Many bsky links require a sign-in, and are, hence, useless to anyone who is not on bluesky.

I am not on bluesky. I have reasons not to be, that I won't bother rehashing for you.

If you want to share things on mastodon, you might want to consider using links that are usable by people who are on mastodon.

@GeePawHill
On the one hand: yes this gets annoying.
On the other hand: my impression is most ppl bridging over from BS just post as if it's all just one site. I know I do here on Mastodon, I.e. I don't think "this post is for those ppl on BS who follow me".
Does that make sense?

I wish they'd all come over to Mastodon, but like that the wonky bridging exists at all. Well done makers and maintainers of the bridge!

@Gurre When you post here, and someone on bluesky links to it, the receiver of the link can read it.

Do you get the difference?

@GeePawHill I do get the difference. It is annoying. But those BS users who post them make one post on BS where the link works and that post gets bridged to over here. It's not like they make separate posts aimed only at mastodon connections and put broken links in those.

@Gurre @GeePawHill
If I see an account posting mostly or exclusively Bluesky links, I just block them.

@Gurre @GeePawHill well then — if they're not worried about the fact that we can't see their links, and never come here to engage — why bother linking at all? they should just not do that?

@Gurre @GeePawHill Then I block them, if they care that little and are that lazy, don't need to waste time on their drivel.
