@mastodonmigration @austin @jerry Hmm.. i kinda would like to see everything bridged from both Masto and Bsky I guess

A lot of people on Bsky also don't bridge, i wonder what number is bigger, Masto or Bsky in bridges?

@stux @mastodonmigration @austin @jerry Can I also stop my posts from going to Bluesky?

@stux @austin @jerry

Feel like this is the problem with this software change. Many people do not want to bridge to Bluesky for whatever reasons. Giving admins the ability to make this decision is just another way of eliminating consent.

How would you determine if this were something mstdn.social would do? How would you inform your users?

@mastodonmigration
Yup true that.. I dont like that either! Hm.. Perhaps awareness should be a little better so people can make a better choice

@austin @jerry

@mastodonmigration @stux @austin @jerry Note that there are an array of potential liability and other legal issues involved.

@mastodonmigration
Maybe it's just better to keep it on "our side". If Bsky really wanted to become part of the Fedi they would make that happen but instead they chose to go with a completly new protocol that was not needed at all

Let them adapt, not us

@austin @jerry

How many platforms / websites have intergrated AT Proto compared to AP

Within time we are all connected and they are drifting on a social island like all the others before them..

Bsky is the same as Facebook, Twitter, etc only a little more open

It feels like an illusion they're trying to sell

@mastodonmigration @austin @jerry

@stux Sadly, like FB was to MySpace, and Twitter was to Facebook, it's where the people with the most reach in journalism are headed, so it won't be long. They spin public opinion.

If they were wise, they would take control of their social media by spinning up a true Fediverse software and then make FB, Threads, Twitter, BlueSky,etc bow down to them for content. But, it doesn't work that way. Plus, imagine all the duplicity saved.

True for businesses, too.

@jredlund
Not sure, but maybe blocking like above has the same effect

Gotta test that though

@mastodonmigration @austin @jerry

@stux As you can tell, I want nothing to do with Bluesky. The whole reason to be on Mastodon is to not be on corporate media. There are a lot of people on Mastodon who feel that way. And in these times, when ICE agents and border security are surveilling people's social media feeds, it is an existential issue.
