@atomicpoet @dansup we should be building tools to create better experiences, not griping about #noindex #nobridge and the sort. There will always be people not following the rules. If you care about privacy, don't post PII, and don't post anything you wouldn't mind falling into the hands of big tech. In the age of LLMs they will do everything they can to circumvent any protection implemented by fedi devs and they have way more resources. UX > Fedi social norms 100% of the time IMO.

@yappari

because any #socialmedia with vulture capital #venturecapital behind it will eventually become #twitter

you cannot trust any social media that is not a #nonprofit

because of the governing structure

#threads is Fuckerberg, sorry #Zuckerberg #Meta

and #bluesky is cool, but all it takes is the #crypto bros and #capitalist sleaze funding it to get antsy and it is going to shit with #ads, #spying, and #political manipulation

it's not worth investing your time

On a related matter, there’s also the #Bluesky bridge to the #fediverse. I think it’s still developing, but no longer marked “work in progress.” It worked well enough for me on mastodon.social. I think it may be coincidence that it had issues around the time I migrated. But in the last week it’s also started working on the new instance.

There are some limitations. The biggest is no support for edits. There is also no support for polls, which is too bad for #HangTrek & #SarlaccPit. I’m not seeing replies or other interactions coming through from Bluesky at all, though occasionally I can see a reply there on my bridged profile. It’s imperfect, but there’s some good bits & it can help attract eyes to your content. And it will probably evolve more features like poll support.

Most of your public (not quiet public or lower visibility) posts are replicated on Bluesky if you opt in by following @bsky.brid.gy. You can block the bot at any time to undo the bridge & toggle on/off with follow/block. You can also add #nobridge to your bio to avoid being visible outside #Mastodon (including #Threads). Without bridging, you can follow Bluesky accounts on Mastodon, but your replies will not be visible. The Threads bridge is entirely one-way afaik, at least for now.

Here’s my bridged Bluesky profile. You can see when I boost another user whose account is also bridged, the boost shows up on my profile. If I boost someone who’s not bridged, the boost doesn’t show up on Bluesky. There’s a small delay (minutes), but not much.

I don't think the guppe instances are bridged to Bluesky.

As far as I know, apart from a "followersonly" or private-post setting, nothing will really woek the way you intended.

Here's a discussion of the issue, that might help:

Also, I'm not sure how effective blocking the Meta instances is at this point.

@rwg @jdp23 I appreciate this piece on consent as I try to get a grip on what I should do about invitations to bridge to bluesky. One thing I'm confused about (and hope someone can help me with) is that Bridgy Fed is referred to as "opt-in" now. Not completely, right? If I bridge to BSky and boost a toot from someone that didn't consent, isn't that toot visible on BSky by default? Or do they get some kind of consent request every time this happens? Until they add #nobridge to their profile?

@fEmber what do the "#NoArchive #NoIndex #NoSearch #NoBridge" hashtags do?
