@dalias gotcha, thanks! I’ve heard about this but don’t know much about the details of how it works in practice. If I did that, would mastodon folks interact with my bsky posts in a way that showed me notifications on mastodon? Or somewhere else?
Might it be a little bit confusing to followers to have an active account on the bridge as well as an active handle on mastodon?
@histoftech I don't know a lot about it either, but as I understand it you'll see all the notifications/interactions, but it may be limited to users who opt in to bridging.
It could be slightly confusing but I think it's beneficial to the long term strength of non-VC social media.
Impressionante como eu fui de um fuso de dormir até a 1h da manhã, pra outro de dormir até às 3h. E hoje algo não tá certo na minha rua, tem um cachorro uivando a noite toda. Pelo menos a lua tá linda e o céu estrelado.

@dalias@susankayequinn I wouldn't count on "it is unconstitutional" to be a valid defense once Cheeto Mussolini takes power. The whole goal of Project 2025 is to replace all the interpreters of the Constitution with people who will only interpret it the way that the fascists want.
The camps will consist of a bunch of tents in the middle of the desert. They can erect them faster than we can organize any action to stop them.
Ultimately, the only way to fight this will be to hide those who they would send to the camps and help them to flee the country (just as that was the only effective way to resist the Nazis in Germany when they were in power).
If you ARE one of those they would send to the camps (and I think many of us are) get your passport if you don't already have one!
@andytiedye The camps will need roads to them, walls, guards, etc. These are things that can be blocked or destroyed.

anubis2814People over on #Bluesky are talking about following everyone who follows you like its your duty and bigger account NEED to follow back smaller ones. Its a whole weird ethics code of conduct I've never heard of before. Here on the #fediverse (#mastodon) we don't do anything like that, maybe because of the lack of an algorithm so nothing goes viral (using a bridge to bluesky). We follow and promote who we like, and people who chase clout here are sorely disappointed. Too many good boring ordinary people here to follow for that kind of things.
@anubis2814 I've mostly been seeing messages to block the trolls and don't give them traction, also to check out block lists of bad actors arriving from the birdsite. Also, how not having an algorithm is nice. Guess it depends on who you're following?
But, I remember here a few years ago when people where encouraged to follow everyone who liked your toots/posts to help fill out follows. Maybe that was just a Mastodon thing?
@anubis2814 Yeah, definitely lots of ideas floating around in those days-- workable or not. Seems to be a thing with new social media networks or networks getting a huge surge of new people. 😅
I will say, I'm not eager to recreate the big following I had on the birdsite. I'll let that die with my account.
@silver_huskey Yeah I don't remember that but it might have been a twitter carryover, so much crazy was happening during the migration some ideas people were pushing for never lasted because it wasn't feasible.
(The letter doesn't name the company, but a commenter recognized it - as did I, while reading the letter - and the letter writer confirms in the comments.)
@shauna@social.coop were you the individual who posted a thread about these hiring questions earlier this year? In frustration with Canonical, I wrote a thread detailing the current set of questions they asked and about my experience interviewing with them last year (terrible, obviously) and someone linked me to a thread where someone had a similar experience… I don’t remember who posted it. You’re obviously (and unfortunately) familiar with Canonical’s bullshit questions as well, so… sorry if they put you through that too : (
I wish I could block Canonical on job postings, because they flood job boards for every region with these postings.
