<p>I'm disabling Bridgy Fed on this account (at least for now) -- if you're at risk of harassment, consider doing the same</p><p>Harassment has increased significantly on Bluesky over the last week (which tends to be what happens when a site's moderators find an excuse not to take actionn against a coordinated anti-trans harassment campaign, but that's another story). Bluesky blocklists provide some protection, but unfortunately there's no way for fedi accounts to subscribe to Bluesky blocklists or labelers. So there's basially no protection for bridged accounts.</p><p>I haven't yet hard any reports of harassment getting directed at bridged accounts ... but then again if somebody on Bluesky who hasn't opted in to Bridgy fed is spewing hate speech in bridged posts replies, we wouldn't necessarily know about it. So, better safe than sorry. </p><p>If you're currently bridging to Bluesky consider doing the same!

<p>While I was lying in the hammock yesterday (clicking on my iPhone), I started thinking about the current state of the "Twitter diaspora", the cross-posting, bridging and separation… and I ended up with this blog post 😅</p><p>TLDR: let's try to settle on the open networks, Bluesky & Fedi, let's connect them well, and let's move away from Twitter.</p><p><a href="https://mackuba.eu/2025/06/30/socials-2025/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="mackuba.eu/2025/06/30/socials-2025/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mackuba.eu/2025/06/30/socials-</span><span class="invisible">2025/</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/bluesky/" rel="tag">#Bluesky</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/bridgy/" rel="tag">#Bridgy</a> <a href="/tags/bridgyfed/" rel="tag">#BridgyFed</a></p>
