   I am exactly the kind of person who doesn't normally have problems with abuse on #mastodon , I'm white and well off. But I sense this place becoming less vibrant because people are choosing bluesky or threads over #activitypub platforms.

     @andy thankfully, BlueSky and Threads are ActivityPub platforms with a flip of a switch.

     @andy yep, I have those criticisms as well. But we have Fedi to thank for that.

     People think there's privacy here for some reason.

     @BeAware yes and no. I'm happy that I can follow some folks from both platforms but it is definitely not full fidelity.

     I have Bridget this account into bluesky. But when I creating a native bluesky account I found my own post and there were responses and likes that I had no idea about because those accounts had not opted in.

     I appreciate that bridgyfed made their service opt in, it's the right privacy position. But asking folks to opt in at scale will always be an uphill battle.

     BeAware :fediverse: repeated this.
