Christ alive. There's a fediverse-to-bluesky bridge set to activate soon and the service is opt *out*. That means all your content (public, listed only if the creator is to be believed) will be automatically ported over to a commercial social media platform without your express consent.

According to the creator, you can opt out by adding "" to your bio or domain block "bsky.brid.gy".

Maybe think about telling this person what you think about their opt out strategy.

It sucks that individual users can't domain block without access to a user profile or post from that domain.

@chronohart Thanks, this is very informative, and I can see people on github open issues to expression the concern over privacy and ethics.

#MastoAdmin For my mastodon instance I preemptively added a "limit" in the admin UI against "bsky.brid.gy" and stopped delivery to this domain. Is this enough? Should I upgrade the block level to "suspend"?

Unfortunately, I couldn't tell you. I'm not an admin, so I don't know how the technical innards of the fediverse works.
