   @mawhrin In this bridge, the privacy properties and assumptions are that it only applies to public posts on both sides of the bridge, no?

     Well, I'd counter that every bit of Mastodon posts that are public are searchable too by one means or another.

     https://www.google.com/search?q=+%40timothy.chambers%40indieweb.social+&sca_esv=de3b8b35270c999b&source=hp&ei=s-jLZZHnOoLk0PEP5_ySyAM&iflsig=ANes7DEAAAAAZcv2xGkkAI359oPuXu44qiMoewEPii8k&ved=0ahUKEwjRjJC8qqmEAxUCMjQIHWe-BDkQ4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=+%40timothy.chambers%40indieweb.social+&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IiMgQHRpbW90aHkuY2hhbWJlcnNAaW5kaWV3ZWIuc29jaWFsIEjMe1CuA1jGdnAIeACQAQCYAccBoAGzLaoBBDAuNDO4AQPIAQD4AQGoAgrCAhAQABgDGI8BGOUCGOoCGIwDwgIQEC4YAxiPARjlAhjqAhiMA8ICDhAAGIAEGIoFGLEDGIMBwgIOEC4YgAQYxwEYrwEYjgXCAggQABiABBixA8ICBBAAGAPCAgUQABiABMICCxAAGIAEGLEDGIMBwgIFEC4YgATCAgsQLhiABBixAxiDAcICBBAAGB7CAgYQLhgeGArCAgYQABgeGArCAgYQABgIGB4&sclient=gws-wiz

     And with 12 MM registered users, 1.2 MM of which are active any given month public posts here are in a firehose already.

     @tchambers @mawhrin even given that, there is a large difference between posting public on a mastodon instance and posting to the ATproto firehose. It's an intensely searchable protocol and the level of expected privacy is radically different

     @mima @timmy @mawhrin That is a good example. And the Fediverse already bridges over into networks like Frendica, and into privately owned social nets like Micro DOT blog, and Flipboard, and Wordpress.com

     @tchambers@indieweb.social #Misskey for example also has #fulltextsearch already for every #fediverse post that it saw, so unless their #Mastodon instance decides to switch to allowlist federation and block every Misskey and other fediverse instances that ignores the proprietary "consent setting" for full-text search, their expectation of "#privacy" (if you can even call it that considering #ActivityPub's design) has been broken long ago.
     
     Mastodon really is an outlier. :seija_coffee:
