@Qazm

if it knocks?

so let me get this straight in my head, and forgive me if I have the wrong end of the stick...

every time someone over in Jack's most recent scam wants to "follow" me from there, i should get a message asking if its okay?

i haven't consented to anyone over there knowing anything about me, but they clearly are going to have some way to discover my existence. where's the consent-basis here?

if someone from "over there" decides to QT me, will i then get a stack of additional requests from all of their followers to allow them to see the QT? again, where's the consent-basis for that?

in what way is any of that justifiable?

You're making wrong assumptions about every single part of that process and the bridge's functions you mention, yes.

Please take at least a few seconds to check the actual project before you assume the worst, as you're fighting proverbial windmills here. It's a bit annoying.

@Qazm @dgold if there's one thing I came to understand after talking to people yesterday it's this. People definitely want these problems to be solved without them personally needing to do anything or understand anything. They want to just emote loudly until someone else takes action on their behalf. And they certainly don't want to pay anything for it.

So you know. We'll just wait and see how well that works out.
