Mastodon/fediverse peeps who come across Bluesky accounts that are bridged (i.e. using Bridgy Fed), how do you feel about them and their posts?

Mastodon/fediverse peeps who come across Bluesky accounts that are bridged (i.e. using Bridgy Fed), how do you feel about them and their posts?

Please boost widely, I’m trying to get input from more than just my followers.

@cassidy If you're #transgender you're likely appreciative of Erin In The Morning having bridged her account since she's no longer posting here.

@erininthemorning.com

There's no one that comes even close for #trans news.

@cassidy@mastodon.blaede.family I feel that the fediverse isn't an exclusive social club and that you and I are not allowed to dictate who is allowed in.

We're allowed to dictate who enters our feeds, and that's about it.

@julian oh for sure! I guess I should clarify, how do you feel about them in your feeds?

@transicorn @erininthemorning.com absolutely! I am generally pro-bridging for this reason; I personally would rather stick to one platform but still be able to follow people who post elsewhere. But I do wonder if bridging is a wholly satisfactory solution, or more of a minimally-acceptable workaround when it comes to a person or organization choosing how they reach the fediverse.

@cassidy I think it's helpful to be able to see bridged accounts from the Fediverse.

My account is bridged, i shared a ton of music on Bluesky, now it appears there again through my Mastodon account and working linktree to sort again but posts are on Mastodon.

I'm unsure why people here think their own posts end up on Bluesky if they interact with users here if they haven't bridged their own account. The only things that end up on Bluesky are my own posts and boosts from other bridged users.

@cassidy People put 'No Bridge' in #Mastodon profiles.

If you don't bridge your Mastodon account, nothing you ever post ends up on #Bluesky. It's not done against your will by other users sharing or interacting with you who have bridged accounts.
