How dare you come up with a nuanced take on this topic instead of screaming “eat the rich”!

I don’t think I’ve ever received an e-mail from an Apple Mail address.

Let me see how you get instance admins to agree on what to defederate.

BallsFactory ballsFactory = new BallsFactory();
ballsFactory.setSuckable(true);
Balls balls = ballsFactory.create();

Bluesky allows me to use my domain as my identity and make my own moderation decisions without having to run my own instance.

The difference is that you won’t find yourself unable to send an e-mail because the admin of your e-mail server doesn’t like someone from the recipient’s e-mail server.

That choice is tied to your identity and can’t be easily changed later, which is what I’m complaining about.

You can choose a different moderation service. That’s the point.

But worse than anyone being able to follow that person because they’re using a platform where moderation is separate from identity, as in AtProto.

The Fediverse is, by definition, anything that supports ActivityPub. If BlueSky supported ActivityPub – which is what the bridge was meant to accomplish – then it would be a part of the Fediverse.

By using the Fediverse, you implicitly opt in to having your content federated between different platforms. How is this any different?

Seeing the reaction to the bridge, it seems that most Mastodon users don’t want AtProto to be compatible with ActivityPub.

So you didn’t get the choice at all? I guess people who sign up this way are going to be really confused why they can’t follow some accounts their friends can.

Do you have any evidence that Trump wants to imprison and execute LGBT people?

If the situation is as you described, you are definitely in the right.

This is not how you demonstrate that you’re on the better side.

Trust me, nobody being interested in you romantically/sexually is not as great as it sounds.

The instance I’m on doesn’t seem to block any other instances and I’m not seeing any Nazi or pedo content.

Some instances choose to “defederate” other instances, which means that users from one won’t be able to see or intract with content from the other. This is primarily meant to combat instances that create spam or host illegal content, but many instances use it for political purposes.
