IMO bridgy is not well designed. The fact that it requires both the follower and the followee to specifically opt in basically makes it DOA. Both Mastodon and BlueSky are completely open and public in terms of post visibility, so bridgy should have been designed to require explicit opt outs from anyone who didn’t want their content bridged.

Bridgy started without that requirement and it pissed off too many Mastodonians so they reworked it

The fediverse hoa had a bit of a problem with it, ignoring the fact that federation is opt out by default.
