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.

@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

@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. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@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.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@grumpygamer if i was handier in a memory debugger I could probably tell you, but i have a list as long as my arm of security nerds who are absolute wizards in a debugger that might be able to help, if you'd like me to push that button

[grumpygamer@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@Viss Thanks, that it has death with. It's a bug in the Dinky compiler, not to game itself.

@Viss

I felt very welcomed when I first got here, November ‘22. This contributed greatly to me sticking around. Think the first things I did here was observing people getting excited about advent of code, and joining them.

Also #HashtagGames. And #Monsterdon. I kept missing movies but really just enjoyed following the general mischief on that hashtag.

I guess what I’m saying is that I agree with you and am proof positive that people stick around when they’re feeling welcomed.

@Viss not if they have posted 10 things and in each and every one of these things they are being an annoying reply spam bot i am sorry.

@Viss
Cargo cult management.
We talked all the management speak, did the power points, bought the AI, bought the folk that did the actual work pizza occasionally before rationalising them. But now the graph says no, how did that happen,

[viss@mastodon.social]

@raymierussell heh, there's cargo cult security too and its functionally identical - the graph represents 'cves remediated this quarter'

@Viss

I went thru my follows to delete any brid.gy accounts - there were not any. But I did see a lot of really cool people that I follow!
