@f4grx @snarfed.org @csepp you just woefully misunderstand what you're working with then. This is a federated platform, the entire platform is opt-out by default.

Your freedom of choice on the fediverse is very simple: unless you're on a whitelist server (in which case it only federates with pre-approved instances and no one else), then you have consented to your posts being federated, you have made the choice to have your posts federated.

Federation doesn't mean "my posts will only be on activitypub", it means "my posts will be freely accessible to everyone".

Your response here makes it very clear that you have no familiarity with how the fediverse works, how bridges work, or even the history of the fediverse.

Everyone actually behind the development of the fediverse is keenly aware of bridges like this and accepts them as a natural part of the fediverse. The original developers of the fediverse see them as a blessing to the fediverse.

Your complaints about consent and being "forced against our will" are akin to the people who go to a waterpark and complain about not consenting to getting wet... by being here you have consented to this. It's not anyone else's fault that you joined a federated platform with no understanding of what federation means.
