I will be opting my account out of the #Bluesky bridge next week. If you follow me from Bluesky (I think there are about 3.9K of you) and want to continue seeing my posts you will need to get an account on the fediverse. Cheers.

@Gargron May I ask why? If there's accounts you don't like there, we have pretty extensive blocking features, including adding ATProto blocklists that pre-block a lot of negative accounts.

@Gargron We have better cats here

@Gargron Why?
I think it's a mistake. You, of all people, can bring people here. But they need to be able to hear/read you for that.

@Gargron I just ditched Bluesky as well . What a disappointment that turned out to be.

Good idea! The same goes for me and the rainbow bridge! (Because I couldn't get the Bluesky bridge to work for me anyway.)

@DavidBHimself I disagree full heartily. Feeding social media platforms like X , FB, Bluesky... etc. keeps them in the loop, supports their cash flow, helps them grow, helps them to spread their narrative, supports their political assets/candidates/agenda. Why? No one on any social media platform sees only 1 account. They have algorythms and flood ppl with garbage. Staying there helps them, only them. @Gargron

@Ilka4You You don't really know much about Bluesky, do you?

@Gargron

Ilka

@DavidBHimself still obviously more about their history & politics than you. @Gargron

@Gargron lol

@Ilka4You @DavidBHimself @Gargron I still have yet to learn how Bsky's supposed to be the *federated* platform they claim to be.

@Gargron May I ask why the move ?

@Gargron What happened to Bluesky? May I know?

@Gargron Yay! Although you were loath to put many blocks on .social, one was no nazis. I am happy to know we won't be seeing ICE here, assuming new admins are on the same page.

@Gargron I'm surprised to see people ITT argument in favor of keeping their bridges up. Following the Nazi bar analogy, the onus lies on B*sky and bridgy to clean up their act, not fedi to let the Nazis into the bar anyway, because some not so bad customers still associate with them?

@Gargron never went onto bluesky - stomach feeling

Daniel Quinn

@Gargron that sounds like a good idea. How do you do that?

GarretSidzaka

@Gargron In solidarity with you and all you have done for us, I've deleted my #Bluesky and #twitter accounts....permanently.

I plan on focusing on #fediverse and other forms of decentralization, as well as personal privacy technology.

You inspire us all!
