Right, how do we get @zackpolanski.bsky.social to follow @ap.brid.gy and, therefore, make it possible for anyone on the reverse to interact with him?
Same goes for any #GreenParty accounts on BlueSky.

@rachel bridged accounts tend to be poor citizens - because they’re acting in a different context to where they appear.
I’d encourage any candidate (esp those I supported!) to maintain a “real” account on any platform they want to interact on.

@xurizaemon based on experience of interaction both with and as a bridged account, I disagree.

@rachel Oh! I apologise then, I didn't have you in mind saying that :)

Fair enough - agree bridging can also be done well, with care, and depends much more on the individuals and interactions!

I’ve observed a “speaking when not in the room” offness, like telepresence? Esp when posting but not replying - if already “broadcast mode” poster then less difference.

Reflecting that perhaps it's an easy thing for folks to get wrong as it enables broadcast-y behaviours, and I'm being wary of that.
