Unfortunately, because of the way the bridge operates due to fedi users requests, a lot of fedi interactions don’t make it to BSKY unless you do the opt-in.
I’m definitely seeing a lot of replies that are bouncing off the bridge due to this
I wonder how viable this is long term. I really don’t like the idea of my bridged account behaving more like an RSS feed.
I’m not too broken up if people don’t follow it, but what REALLY kills me is seeing people putting effort into responses to my posts and having those just disappear. That really sucks for both me and that person!
I wonder if the bridge will get some way to make this work better
@lupomancer I thought the plan was to DM people to prompt them to opt in. :confused_dog: Maybe that's not implemented yet because the bridge is still super beta.
Also the demand for users to even have an opt-in mechanism in the first place was super dumb, but oh well. :neofox_what: Fedi gonna Fedi.
@Rusty Dude I hate when twitter users get proven right about the “mastodon is just twitter with HOAs” shtick.
We could have so much if it weren’t for those folks. It’s so easy for a bridge to just respect post privacy, but now the dude has to develop this whole opt-in system because people didn’t think before they speak, as if the bridge wasn’t going to act like literally ANY other AP instance.
Wait till people find out some instances don’t respect deletes or edits like well-kept ones do
Given this info I’d really love to prioritize adding a function to my tool to help find bridged BSKY accounts on mastodon but man those BSKY account exports are BRUTAL!
Maybe I’ll try digging into them more later this week
