@blogdiva Yeah, I gave it the benefit of the doubt, but it’s really not worth the implied legitimization of Bluesky.

@blogdiva I’m turning off federation both ways on brid.gy.

PS: Be sure to go to your Mastodon Preferences and revoke access for the Bridgy app, to make sure they can no longer read from your account.

@drahardja @blogdiva they also say to block the bridge bot https://fed.brid.gy/docs#opt-out

welp,

did a search and just unfollowed one at a time.

FWIW my gut feeling been proven right about the bridge: that it would be mostly a one-way street benefitting people at the hipster nazi bar.

i followed about 50 people. only 5 followed back.

fuck nazi bars.

@drahardja @blogdiva I'm guessing this is for the web version of mastodon, or the official app, maybe? I can do part 1 on Tusky, but part 2 (blocking the domain) doesn't seem to be possible in this way. Will have to log on via web browser to do that. Thanks for the info!

@drahardja your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦

That didn't work for me.

I needed to at another at symbol for part 1, step 1.

I'm not sure why that account has two at symbols, but it does.
