Ah, so if I want to follow someone from Bluesky, they have to first follow the Bridgy Fed account to opt in, I see.
-
@stefan @thisismissem @snarfed.org I guess everything is possible, but what should this virtual starter pack be based on? Accounts that your are following on activitypub which also follows the bridgy account?
-
@aslakr @thisismissem @snarfed.org Hmm, not sure. And I'm not too sure if this would have enough value over better support for Bluesky's built-in starter packs.
Seems like an option to opt your bridged account out of them would be a good place to start, unless that can already be done somehow.
-
@stefan @thisismissem @snarfed.org For the build in Bluesky starter packs you need a Bluesky account. A virtual one could be contructed of data from the activitypub/mastodon side.
-
@aslakr @thisismissem @snarfed.org Alright, so the advantage I see now would be not needing a BS account to create the starter pack itself.
I guess that does make this worthwhile to look into.

@stefan if I create a “people I don’t like and think we should harass” starter pack, do the victims get a say in the matter ? (Real question, I’m not on BS and don’t intend to create an account to find out :).

@acambronero Thank you, will add this when I'm back at my computer!

@sknob I'm not too familiar with how Bluesky works either, and I think bridged accounts might further complicate things. I did flag the creator of the bridge in another thread to look into this.

@stefan "bridge account deleted" … I wonder what happens to already posted toots, over on the bsky side after that.

So apparently to get yourself removed from a starter pack on Bluesky, you have to block its creator.
Will have to find a way to test how this works for bridged accounts.
-
@stefan
Brid.gy is actually already banned on several instances because of the threat of opt out, so likely isn’t the best option -
@stefan nope, people have absolutely NO control over bridged accounts

If a Masto user was previously bridged to bsky and then blocks bridgy, severing the bridge, the Bsky account is deleted. As well as all posts
-
I previously had m masto bridged but didn’t like how I had absolutely no control over the bridged Bsky account, that and I already had a Bsky account and there was no real way to connect the actual account to the bridge account.
Add to that the annoyance of only interactions with other bridged accounts going through, masto specific vs bsky specific content &etc, and the fact that … -
There were bsky only accounts following and commenting that I would never had known about had I not seen them while on my actual Bsky account and the questionable morali of opt in vs opt out and having to beg/harass people to opt in if you want to be able to interact with them just felt squicky.
Since I already had my own bsky account I just dropped the bridge.
-
@stefan Didn't it start as opt out & everyone hated it?
