   Just announced: "A New Social", a new non-profit focused on building cross-protocol services and tools for the open social web, is now leading development of Bridgy Fed.

   Exciting stuff! Bridging is an important approach that hasn't gotten enough attention, and this work really complements the other multi-polar efforts. Original Bridgy Fed developer @snarfed.org is CTO, and @quillmatiq is the CEO and Executive DIrector.

   The press release has supportive comments from @mike, Emily Liu of Bluesky, the Threads team at Meta, @andypiper of Mastodon, Evan Prodromou of @swf, and @jaz of @iftas.

   Bridgy Fed has set an important precdent here by prioritizing consent with their opt-in model, and it's really paid off. In fact the threats from Bluesky's current tolerance of anti-trans harassers and the multiple datasets of scraped Bluesky data are exactly the scenarios that advocates of an opt-in approach warned about -- an opt-out approach would have left people on fedi exposed by default. So let's hope that this focus on consent doesn't get lost as things more forward!
