 @allpoints @homegrown @mastodonmigration In short, bridges *are* necessary. We want interconnection, ideally via ActivityPub, but barring that a bridge is the next best thing until a common protocol wins the hearts n minds of the internet. The Opt-Out is definitely badjuju and rightly will engender blocks. 2 comments
@allpoints @homegrown @mastodonmigration Agreed, the OptOut is a bad choice and harms the perception of interconnectivity. Frankly, at scale, it would seem to need significant revenue... Which makes it more likely the content is being scraped on transit. The better option would be instance hosted bridges, letting ppl control the flow. |

I support interconnectivity. However, I thought the whole point of ActivityPub was to allow for that.
I understand bridging but blusky is already a point of contention for many here. Simply saying one can opt out feels like the early days of email when spammers said the same thing. "What's the problem? You don't like our stuff just opt out."
To your point, this may not go as well as they hope
