@polotek I largely agree with you (and some of the yelling is pretty appalling, especially where it ignores how the bridge functions).

That said, I think the bridge can offer better UX if it 'knocks', since it can then reasonably choose to bridge Unlisted/'Quiet Public' posts over to the often-algorithmic Bsky feeds to make them available to followers there, rather than just "loud" Public ones plus some mentions.
There are some minor protocol mismatches like that, as well as the general difference in how moderation is expected to work (there are built-in shared blocklists there now, which I'd definitely like as an option here), that imo make opt-in requests the smoother experience overall.
