Fediverse! I’ve been building a bridge [snarfed.org] to Bluesky [bsky.social], and they’re turning on federation soon, which means my bridge will be available soon too. You’ll be able to follow people on Bluesky from here in the fediverse, and vice versa.

Bluesky is a broad network with lots of worthwhile people and conversations! I hope you’ll give it a chance. Only fully public content is bridged, not followers-only, unlisted, or otherwise private posts or profiles. Still, if you want to opt out, I understand. Feel free to DM me at @snarfed@indieweb.social [indieweb.social] (different account than this one), email me [snarfed.org], file a GitHub issue [github.com], or put #nobridge in your profile bio.

(Admins, if you decide beforehand that you don’t want your instance to federate with Bluesky over the bridge, the domain to limit or block is bsky.brid.gy.)

A number of us have thought about this for a while now [snarfed.org], we’re committed to making it work well for everyone, and we’re very open to feedback. Thanks for listening. Feel free to share broadly.

I've been building social network bridges and related tools for over 12 years, including Bridgy, which connects personal web sites and blogs to centralized social networks, and Bridgy Fed, which connects them to the fediverse.

This need to be opt *in*, not opt out! What the heck were you thinking? I suppose this makes sense if Bluesky is paying you...
