   Letting you connect to other people you care about is not unethical or immoral.

   You have a lot of options for whether you want to participate in the BS bridge -- either by managing your follows directly, by blocking users from that domain, or by blocking the whole domain.

   This is how federation works. You have absolute control over who you interact with.

     @skyfaller @ben I think you might be overestimating how much I'd like to discuss the Bluesky bridge.

     @evan @ben One consideration is that maybe if the Bluesky bridge were opt-in, some servers currently moving to block it would instead leave it be, and that would make it more available / useful to their users.

     That said, people may have been unnecessarily nasty about it without fully understanding the situation. I personally found the bridge less objectionable after research, even though I have very negative feelings about Bluesky. Ryan seems thoughtful: https://snarfed.org/2024-02-13_52223
