I am exactly the kind of person who doesn't normally have problems with abuse on #mastodon , I'm white and well off. But I sense this place becoming less vibrant because people are choosing bluesky or threads over #activitypub platforms.

@andy thankfully, BlueSky and Threads are ActivityPub platforms with a flip of a switch.

@BeAware yes and no. I'm happy that I can follow some folks from both platforms but it is definitely not full fidelity.
I have Bridget this account into bluesky. But when I creating a native bluesky account I found my own post and there were responses and likes that I had no idea about because those accounts had not opted in.
I appreciate that bridgyfed made their service opt in, it's the right privacy position. But asking folks to opt in at scale will always be an uphill battle.

@andy yep, I have those criticisms as well. But we have Fedi to thank for that.
People think there's privacy here for some reason.
There's no privacy here....sorry, but it's the truth.
There's even Pleroma MRF policies that make followers only posts public...
