@proximacentauri @Snowshadow @Gargron Which is why I asked @Gargron to opt out.
And, being ok with seeing several problems in one scenario, I also don’t like being opted into something I didn’t ask for.
@allen099 @Snowshadow @Gargron Mastodon federates by default to all new instances. Bluesky Bridge is only a new instance.
Your problem is with Mastodon, not with this bridge.

@allen099 @proximacentauri @Snowshadow @Gargron You can also block all bridged bluesky instances. This bridge is a big chance for the fediverse to gain more relevancy. You can go to an instance not federating with them, but you shouldn’t expect @Gargron’s mainstream instances to do so.

@user8e8f87c @allen099 @proximacentauri @Snowshadow @Gargron I have yet to find someone explain to me the difference between the proposed #bluesky bridge and someone following me from a Hubzilla instance.
While my instinctive reaction was “leave us alone” I didn’t find a definition for “us” and I don’t think that the angry people have.
My conclusion is that the bridge is *exactly* what the rest of the #fedi is. All the drama is stupid.

@chris @fediversenews @user8e8f87c @allen099 @proximacentauri @Snowshadow @Gargron Isn’t this an example of the Fediverse working exactly as designed? Anybody who really objects to it can just block it. I don’t understand why they’re trying to get the rest of us to do it too – it’s their decision, but it’s not necessarily mine or anyone else’s

@user8e8f87c @allen099 @proximacentauri @Gargron I have blocked the instances.

@user8e8f87c @proximacentauri @Snowshadow @Gargron I completely agree… And that would be the next step. I would simply spin up my own instance. But as a resident of this instant, I see no harm in asking.

@proximacentauri @allen099 @Gargron Maybe...
What irritates me is that I left social media for quite a period of time b/c I was fed up with the nonsense going on in corp. owned social media platforms. So I found out about fediverse and now threads is here and bluesky.
That's fine...I just don't want to see any of it or interact with those instances and I have blocked them...I don't want that toxic element in my TL.
