I will be opting my account out of the #Bluesky bridge next week. If you follow me from Bluesky (I think there are about 3.9K of you) and want to continue seeing my posts you will need to get an account on the fediverse. Cheers.
@Gargron May I ask why? If there's accounts you don't like there, we have pretty extensive blocking features, including adding ATProto blocklists that pre-block a lot of negative accounts.
@quillmatiq @Gargron blocking isn't a solution in this case

@scottjenson I'm not sure I'm following - if an account you didn't like joined the Fedi, would you not block them instead of leaving the Fedi altogether?

@Gargron

@quillmatiq @scottjenson @Gargron if a server on the Fediverse allows Nazis, it’s a Nazi bar and the whole server should be blocked. Same concept here. Bluesky welcomed ICE with open arms, therefore it’s a Nazi bar.

As a platform, Bluesky has shown its true colors - it’s just Twitter with a different name.

@piepants Bridgy Fed bridges the entire ATProto network, not just users on the Bluesky stack.

@quillmatiq @piepants @Gargron
This is the same argument Twitter made. You are "too big to fail". This limits your ethical choices, preventing you from being more restrictive.

This is exactly why the fedaverse holds its instances to such high standards because when one does not take a stand like this, the entire server is blocked

@scottjenson There's no too-big-to-fail in what I said above. I'm saying we don't just bridge Bluesky users, we bridge everyone on the entire network, including folks on single-user PDSes (me!), Blacksky users (you can see my bridged Mastodon profile there as well), and a countless number of shared PDSs (see selfhosted.social).

The number of users on non-Bsky PDSes is growing by the day: https://blue.mackuba.eu/directory/pdses

@piepants @Gargron

Bluesky handle directory – PDSes

Can you defederate from the Bluesky instance without blocking you and others?
