@nazokiyoubinbou @Viss Exactly

@Viss argh ffs. Are there any other Bsky bridging accounts?

I follow that one solely for 1 or 2 Bsky accounts 😰

@Viss If you don't want to customise things, I've been finding https://beszel.dev/ both lightweight and "good enough" for host monitoring.
It's actively developed, so keeps gaining new features like service monitoring.

@Viss 👍

@Viss

Yeah, I blocked it a while ago. Made me very, very sad - but I cannot risk the safety of my friends here.

Bluesky is licking fascists boots eagerly now and cannot be trusted anymore.

[oliviavespera@spacey.space]

@dannotdaniel @Viss @ridge you can disable bridging from the control panel in fed bridgy

is that enough?

[0xtero@ohai.social]

@Viss I went to check it out at some point because the promise of more diverse crowd with federation sounded interesting. Turns out none of it was true nor particularly interesting.

[dannotdaniel@hellions.cloud]

@OliviaVespera @Viss @ridge I don't know exactly what fed bridgy is but I would stay away from it entirely...

I'm not interested in anything even remotely designed to bridge these things

[oliviavespera@spacey.space]

@dannotdaniel @Viss @ridge

fed bridgy is the service used to bridge the fediverse and bluesky. it's what provides the "bsky.brid.gy" server. https://fed.brid.gy/ It has always been an opt in service.

Your stuff isn't automatically bridged to bluesky (and vice versa) unless you opt in. (on either side)

So most folks don't need to block bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy unless you've already opted into bridging your account.

and hence if you have bridged, you can disable it in the control panel.

@Viss @derek @thomas y'all probably saw this, but just in case 👆

[dannotdaniel@hellions.cloud]

@OliviaVespera @Viss @ridge

okay that makes sense
I guess it's enough..

I obviously never did it so there's nothing for me to disable

I think we also block the BlueSky bridge account on this entire instance

[oliviavespera@spacey.space]

@dannotdaniel @Viss @ridge No worries ^^ I think there seems to have the same fears you had about how the bridging service works. The fear and panic surrounding ICE and fascism is legitimate.

But do let folks know how this works and what we can do about it.

If there should be another federated protocol besides atproto and activitypub, i imagine bridgy fed would provide for it.

protocols over platforms, people over protocols. etc etc.

@Viss you learn that lesson real quick when you start doing business with them. $bigCorp gonna $bigCorp (it’s too late for me. Save yourselves.)

[viss@mastodon.social]

@ppxl yeah i was the same. i only used the bridge to follow two people that used to be here

[stux@mstdn.social]

@Viss There we go! Thanks mate

[timmaddog@mstdn.social]

@Viss
Which account? There's no link, and a search only takes me to the domain, on which there's no "Block" option. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[sayonaraminasan@urusai.social]

@Viss replies to this to the effect of “teh government can still spy on you hurr durr” are not wise. It’s the principle people. Come on. If you have friends on a Nazi site you may want to consider why you associate with them.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@sayonaraminasan yep. there have been a few. theyre simply nazi sympathizers, and get lumped in with the rest.

"we will continue to have these meetings every single day until we figure out why no one is getting any work done"...

[grumpygamer@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@Viss Yep. It's been fixed in the expansion due it a bit. Kind of a mystery as to why it's happening.
