Alright, let me update my hashtags in my bio:

Another argument I'm seeing in favor of the is that if your Mastodon posts are public, people and scrapers can already access them, so why object to having to of ?

I'd like to respond to that with an analogy: In my neighborhood, there's a certain restaurant. It's open to the public and as such is a public space, but I don't go there because its owner vocally supports political views that hurt LGBTQ people, so it attracts certain patrons I'd rather avoid. Now, sometimes I have to walk outside this restaurant to run errands and such, and people inside the restaurant can look through the windows and see me on the sidewalk. I can't avoid that, but I can avoid going in, and we would generally say that anyone who would try to force me to go in is being unreasonable.

Just because I'm existing in public doesn't mean I have given to be harassed or be put in situations where it's more likely for me to be harassed

Blaze OP , to Fediverse in Bridgy Fed, a bridge between the Fediverse and other protocols such as BlueSky, is using an opt-out model and that raises a lot of discussion

Instance can block bridge domain and it will not be federated

I was referring to the

Put the text in your profile bio, refresh your profile on your user page, and Bridgy Fed will stop bridging your account. Or feel free to send me a request privately.

Seems like defederation is not enough in this case, as it's not mentioned as a way to opt-out.

Bridge to Bluesky

Apparently, Ryan Barrett @snarfed.org@snarfed.org, an engineer/developer, is about to connect a bridge between Mastodon (Fediverse) and Bluesky.

Announcement here: https://snarfed.org/2024-02-12_52106

Of note the bridge is OPT-OUT. That is, your content will be automatically bridged to Bluesky, UNLESS you OPT-OUT.

So how do you opt-out? You have to DM Ryan Barnett at @snarfed, email him (somehow), file a GitHub issue, or put in your profile bio.

@shiri @byjp @eishiya What the hell is all this about? I don't understand any of this.

Fediverse! I’ve been building a bridge to Bluesky, and they’re turning on federation soon, which means my bridge will be available soon too. You’ll be able to follow people on Bluesky from here in the fediverse, and vice versa.

Bluesky is a broad network with lots of worthwhile people and conversations! I hope you’ll give it a chance. Only fully public content is bridged, not followers-only or otherwise private posts or profiles. Still, if you want to opt out, I understand. Feel free to DM me at @snarfed (different account than this one), email me, file a GitHub issue, or put #nobridge in your profile bio.

(Admins, if you decide beforehand that you don’t want your instance to federate with Bluesky over the bridge, the domain to block is bsky.brid.gy.)

A number of us have thought about this for a while now, we’re committed to making it work well for everyone, and we’re very open to feedback. Thanks for listening. Feel free to share broadly.

I'm wondering if that means there may be a functional difference between blocking the bridge vs adding the tag?
