@thomasfuchs For once I absolutely do not agree with you. You conflate tech with media.
Repeat after me: Instance Block is a FEATURE not a BUG. And small servers do fine. The instance I am on have only a few tens of members. Many of the people I follow run their own server with only themselves, or their family on them.
In fact, I recommend never being on an instance with more than 150-200 ppl on it, because that means you can have a personal relationship with your admin and moderators.

@thomasfuchs I think you misunderstood the meaning of "open" in this instance.
This discussion is about consent, online safe spaces and online privacy in that order and none of these things has any connection to if the protocol used is open or not.
It is such a white tech bro (not you, the developer of the bridge) attitude to not care about consent by forcing an opt out model (which is illegal in the EU. I foresee him being forced to adjust things soon...).

@thomasfuchs not the same thing. Just like people don't want their data sold to third parties companies or whatever.

@thomasfuchs You know what I mean, this is not a fediverse server, aka you do not actually agree to any terms of use with it, it just sucks in your profile and makes you available for the unmoderated space that is Bluesky, just like most people don't want to be visible to the unmoderated space that is Meta.
A LOT of people on Mastodon has fled Twitter and Facebook due to harassment campaigns that naturally happen in places that put profit or ideology over moderation.
