█ Signing up for #Bluesky was a mistake. I have gotten so many #spam calls in the past few days.

The sudden spike only makes sense if they're selling the phone number I used for 2FA.

█ It's not only the federation that is the issue. The inevitable cloning / copying of this new data access point (people themselves, you and others) to their servers with auto-consent almost, for speed or [insert your whatever corporate reasoning here] and the natural expectation and expectable worry like this built-in.
Other fediverse are not interested in this stuff and certainly not to this level. Totally different big fishes [Facebook, Twitter style stuff I mean common].

Using whatever they can/want without the same spirit of Fediverse like we have now is a big problem (totally different as server and politics)...

The federation is being invaded / diluted out of existence or even education of what's proper as we kinda get overwhelm and inevitably concede positions as it's too costly to manage...
Imagine growing more caringly (people understand what they sign up to in Fedivser) vs. mass and being distracted by mass media mainstream stuff (not just content but effect of big-players in the background).
Like people say 'which server' and 'just join facebook/threads/tiwtter' we also lose smaller recommendations and niches/nuances with those choosing more carefully their community and supporting smaller Fediverse hubs.

It's not too harsh a line and like 'self-trojan horsing' can come to mind no so far later down the line if you accept this. I would be surprised if they started copying straight away and 'collect them all'.

█Similar to "Do not track me" in browsers - they don't have to respect it. It's just you in a box saying something. No control.
So "copy this data of mine" y/n will also be a totally corporate company decision... they control their side - if it was your company you'd do the same unless limited or no business was accepted there... Via a bridge the rules will be quite different... so this is a different question to any kinds of option about it.

Like people willing to make business but will take it easy at first... it's the same thing happening with monetisation and privacy everywhere... Almost people can't help it no matter what they say now...

█ ...all this "nonconsensual data harvesting by proprietary networks straight into Google datacenters" content...

I'm blocking the #bluesky bridge, all instances I care about are blocking the #bluesky bridge, die mad about it. I'll add the domains to nftables too for good measure.

█ "If you don't want to give someone the ability to see and store your data, don't post it publicly online in the first place."

(this is totally not the way and feeding the great giants that want to invade and force people to drink their type of coolaid/fediverse. People like this easily want to give it away and even stop thinking about it.

█"Opt-out is not consent.

Everyone knows this and yet many #Mastodon admins continue to abuse us.

Where are the good guys?"

█Dear Ryan: I would appreciate it if you do not bridge my account to Bluesky.

I just wanted to let you know that I opt out.

I already added #nobridge to my bio, and also sent you a DM expressing my desire to opt out of your bridge from #Mastodon to #BlueSky

I publicly and expressly do no consent #BlueSky TOC, Terms of Use, Legal Agreements, nor any other legally binding agreement between them and me in any way whatsoever.

Thank you
Best regards
