Idk why not at this point. The #BridgyFed critics got like everything they wanted. Everything is pretty much #optin. And because of that it's difficult to follow from here the artists I follow at #Bluesky. :satsuki_sadge:
You could say "just ask each one of them to follow you then", but that's easy for you to say. I don't like looking like an unsolicited jerk asking if they want to hear the words of Jesus Christ or something. Which is how I see some of you here on fedi btw. Damn evangelists. No different from techbros or FOSSbros
Now I do think the early stages should be opt-in like a beta as it is right now to iron out the bugs (and there are plenty) before being available fully to the public. But I have a feeling this is never gonna go #optout as it should've been because of the harshness of those ignorant IANALs who do not really understand the #GDPR and other #privacy laws... :reisensweat:
@doktorzjivago@erikdelareguera Den där bron verkar än så länge funka lite hipp som happ. Kollade igenom listan här och försökte hitta några som jag ville följa:
Slowly, but surely my Mastodon posts (this one included) are showing up on Bluesky. Bridgy.fed kicks in. Thanks to @snarfed.org@snarfed.org for all the hard work.
When he built a bridge to connect Bluesky to Mastodon and other ActivityPub-powered platforms, @snarfed.org@snarfed.org started a new chapter for the fediverse. The software engineer opens up to @mike about his rollercoaster ride in the latest episode of Dot Social:
The same thing that drove me nuts about the BridgyFed/BlueSky bridge discourse also drives me nuts with the Threads discourse. :neofox_what: Why isn't there a fediblock level that lets admins default to suspending a server, but allows users to opt back into federating with them? Is there a technical reason for it?
I really don't think it should've been on the BridgyFed developer to build an opt-in system that rightfully should've already been in Mastodon, the same way I don't think blocking Threads outright is the best solution (granted it's better than openly federating, hence why they're suspended here). Why doesn't Mastodon have a built-in system for letting users opt-in to federating with a server? :confused_dog:
@verge Great episode! Truly embarrassing regarding the culture regarding the #BridgyFed mention. You would hope that adults could handle and behave themselves better, oh well.
Glad #minds is here but the integration is still not great. I wonder how many people used it and then decided to join a native #ActivityPub server once they realized they could keep/recreate the social graph they had over there.
I haven't used it. I have my doubts it will ever be as open as what we have here, but maybe it will be even better. Hoping #bridgyfed will work well ASAP. AFAIK nostr doesn't have the basic moderation that good conversations require.
I want to add my voice supporting Ryan Barrett's #bridgyfed project.
The #Mastodon#HOA has outed itself as intolerant & abusive as the worst of the twitter trolls.
The HOA tries to impose a minority view on the entire fediverse using abuse & viral outrage tactics in the face of software & protocols that do exactly the opposite.
I noticed this dynamic when I first joined & listened to the cultural differences.
Good morning. The next phase begins with this news. I personally always felt Bluesky might prove more versatile and capable of rapid growth than many AP enthusiasts wanted to contemplate. (And @mmasnick ain't wrong about much.)
Bluesky opens up federation, letting anyone run their own server.
Onko jollain tavalla mahdollista nyt siis tavalla tai toisella yhdistää Mastodon-tili ja Bluesky-tili niin, että yksi tili tuottaa sisältöä molempiin ja jos on, niin miten se tehdään?
Have you heard about #BridgyFed? Using this free service, I have been able to link my four #Substack publications to the #Fediverse so that each now has a handle that can be followed on #Mastodon and other #ActivityPub platforms. Here they are:
I don't like the use of the word "fight" here, but this is a good overview of the issues and what's at stake.
Money quote: "Soon, Meta’s Threads app plans to become interoperable with ActivityPub networks like Mastodon. Flipboard and #Automattic, owner of #WordPressDotCom and #tumblr are also betting on ActivityPub."
