@FediTips There isn't any bridging to bluesky unless you actually follow the bridge account. Blocking to avoid bridging is totally useless.
@jorgecandeias @FediTips
That's not as obvious as you might think.I think it's been fixed, but there was this issue with bridgy, noticed a few months ago, where a user who was bridged linked to a post of a user who was not bridged and on bsky the bridged "quote" post (this was pre- supported quote posts) pulled the avatar image of the non-bridged person and blew it up then cropped it resulting in a creepy situation caused by a gap in the bridge logic and some quirk in bsky image processing.

How to block Bluesky from Mastodon:
1. Go to the profile page of the account @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy
2. Click ⋯
3. Click "Block Domain" to stop seeing Bluesky accounts
4. Click "Block" to prevent your own account being bridged to BlueskyYou may need to copy-paste @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy into the search box on your server to make the profile appear.
If you can't find the account @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy, your server is probably already blocking the Bluesky bridge.
Done. Thank you.

Had the non-bridged user known this was a possibility they might have chosen to block the bridgy account to reduce the chances of such an occurrence. Not that the onus should have been on them but still, given the occurrence was not intentional it does remind us that defense-in-depth has utility, especially for vulnerable people. -

@virtuous_sloth @FediTips Yes, I know about that. But it was a bug, not a feature. Bugs happen. And it's been fixed.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @federatedsocialnews@channel.org Or you can just not bridge your account in the first place.

@jorgecandeias @FediTips
We rarely know about bugs until they happen. That's the point. That bug being fixed doesn't help when the next one is revealed. -

Are you willing to guarantee - on the penalty of death by ICE - that there are no other such "bugs"? -

@FediTips
So number 4 - blocking the bot - is the important one?Asking because Moshidon doesn't show a domain option.

This is not about you, it's about the people who might follow your advice. If you are willing to risk their life, you should be willing to risk your own. -

@FediTips Does blocking the domain still work if someone you follow boosts a toot from it?

People are here on the fediverse, on a network that is inherently unsafe (as all are). Here, bad actors only need to lay low to grab all the information they want from people, as only when they reveal themselves blocking can happen.
And they worry with the tiny little probability of a bug sending their data elsewhere?
Come on. Be real.
Risk exists right here, right now. People should really be well aware of that.

@FediTips
Your account will only be bridged to Bluesky if you *follow* the bridgy account.If you have followed it in order to have your account bridged and have now changed your mind, you need to block it. If you have never followed it, blocking it is unnecessary.

#Bluesky verified an account for US Immigration & Customs Enforcement, so even more people here want even less to do with Bluesky.

@FediTips And why would you want to do that?

@loki_bass @FediTips People being paranoid and not understanding how the bridge works, once again... It happens every six months or so.

@francommit L'app immuni in realtà era ben fatta. Il problema era il vincolo ai Google Play Services.

@DakaAyra La religione ha probabilmente dato origine a più cose brutte che belle. Il male, di per sé, non è questione di più o meno religione.
Qui una citazione di Margherita Hack è d'obbligo:
"Non è necessario avere una religione per avere una morale. Perché se non si riesce a distinguere il bene dal male, quella che manca è la sensibilità, non la religione."

Definitivo, credo =)

@sdm we're a bit too free on that, but IMO other countries are a bit too uptight about it. I was nearly (fined? arrested? don't know) in Berlin for crossing with a red light in the park at the foot at the angel thingie. I looked both ways, there was no car in sight *anywhere*, with full view all around me, and crossed. I didn't even realize there was (1) a traffic light and (2) two cops on the other side, because I was focused on looking for vehicles.
