█ Opt-out is not consent.

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

Where are the good guys?

█ Native #openweb is "permissionless" this is how #ActivityPub works and why it works. Is #bluesky native to the #openweb?

█ ⚔️ This is a "trust" vers "control issue and yes people are pushing #closedweb thinking and code, we need to think this through better.

█ 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.

█ QUOTE> The point of the fediverse is to connect with others, with full control and safety. It's for making connections between networks of different sizes and implementations."

I say, bc at some point, it might matter that this isn't quite the system you want.

█ It's not the federation that is the issue... [snip] But "copy this data of mine to a non-AP company network via a bridge where the rules are different" is a different question, and checking with someone first is reasonable.

It's beyond the scope of reasonable expectation to assume "usage implies opt in".

█ [snip...] Not to mention that a lot of Mastodon users don't understand how Mastodon works. They think it must have a pool of all accounts and all posts and all that somewhere, and the BridgyFed Bluesky bridge will give Bluesky unlimited access to it all.

They also think that Bluesky will be able to post nasty stuff to everyone, even those who aren't connected to anyone on Bluesky.

They think the same about Threads, because in their heads, they're still on Twitter where the secret-sauce algorithm would probably allow for that to happen.
