Your periodic reminder that:

• Aces are queer.
• Being ace is about sexual attraction, not whether you have—or enjoy, for that matter—sex.
• Being ace is about sexual attraction, not whether you masturbate or can experience sexual arousal.
• Aces have always been part of the acronym, though where we have fallen has changed over time and in different regions. It is both incorrect to say "the A has only ever meant ally" and "the A has never meant ally" (the reason for this is complex)

Lots of Fediverse Admins are making it VERY clear they have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the protocol works and that's VERY worrying....

If you don't even understand how something works, how can you even begin to admin an instance properly?

There's definitely a legitimate reason to defederate from the BlueSky bridge. You may not trust corporations and that's PERFECTLY FINE!

But don't disguise it as some sort "opt-in only stance" because if you're a legit Fediverse admin, you know the Fediverse as a whole is opt-out by design.

Either you know that and are misrepresenting the truth to dogpile on a dev unnecessarily or you don't know that and running an instance is irresponsible of you.....😬yikes...

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.
