How to block Bluesky from Mastodon:
-
@menelion @patricus @FediTips Exactly, like this whole sentiment from a lot of the big names in the Fediverse saying oh these people who are the CEO of this platform or this protocol promoted this person or that, its just ridiculous at this point, saying that just because certain people are doing stupid stuff we should abandon the platforms and/or protocols is only making the situation worse, we should be about people, not platforms and protocols, this needs to stop or the fediverse will continue to look like a bunch of randos who try to push specific ideologies on to its users. This is one of the reasons why the fediverse hasn't been taken seriously in the mainstream.
@alexchapman Exactly. I like the openness of the Fediverse, its huge possibilities, decentralization and so forth, but it seems to become more and more a place exclusively for leftists, anarchists, anti-capitalists, exclusive-open-sourcists and other -ists with whom I absolutely don't share my political views. And if you don't agree, you are basically a fascist/nazi/something other random insult word pronounced just to offend, without really knowing dictionary definition, all the connotations and historical presumptions of the word in question. For example, you use windows and don't want to go Linux? You're anti-European fascist, no matter what (you have no right to like Windows, you have no right to be blind and need accessibility Linux doesn't provide and will never provide in foreseeable future — rights are only for the left wing). You don't want that 100% of restaurants in your country were halal because you like your traditional pork meal with a glass of wine — shut up you islamophobic racist, you don't embrace diversity. You don't yell "free palestine" because you don't support hamas and don't want Israel to be abolished and ruined by terrorists — help, a nazi is here, ban him! And so on and so forth and so fifth.

@menelion I agree, its getting ridiculous!

@alexchapman Ah, I also forgot the cherry on the cake, as we say here in France: you don't hate AI and justify its use? You're a nazi no matter what.

@menelion @alexchapman Yeah I should know. I've been kicked off 3 Masto instances over the past 4 years. I thought of creating a Blusky account, but I hear that is as bad as Masto.

@FediTips Seriously, that doesn't make a lick of sense.
You're not blocking Bluesky (you can't, it doesn't communicate with the Fediverse), you're blocking the bridge.
What is the purpose apart from virtue signaling?If a Fediverse account is not bridged, no one on the Bluesky side can see it.
Bluesky accounts bridged into the Fediverse allow them to be seen on the Fediverse. If you don't want to see a Bluesky account in the Fediverse, don't follow any. As simple as that.

@FediTips Some Anglos find me patronizing when I disagree with them.
️ Are we having a discussion in good faith, though? I'm not so sure. You're not really answering any of my questions. And more often than not answering beside the point (I'm talking about Bluesky and you reply ICE, for example)
"Honestly? Yes, blocking servers is not something that should be done except with rare exceptions."
No one is entitled to my time or my attention. If I decide I don't want to interact with a person, an instance, or an entire government on my socials then that's my prerogative. And it isn't subject to other ppl's approval.
On our instance, we defed based on our shared values. Platforming fascist thugs who have been using official govt accounts to spread propagandic lies is definitely against what we stand for. Defedding a bridge to that platform keeps that trash off of our timelines. If ppl don't like our approach or our decisions, tough.
On your "no one gives me the answers I want to hear" nonsense:
YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO ANSWERS
Gods and goddesses, how is this difficult?

@alexchapman@tweesecake.social @FediTips@social.growyourown.services that is a solution, yeah. but IDK if #snac2 can do user blocking on instance level. because I am inviting friendos over here soon so I am supposed to get the instance as safe as possible.

Individual servers being able to defederate is at the very core of the Fediverse.
It's what gives the grassroots servers real power. It's something no other social network offers.
If you want networks where defederations don't happen, maybe you would prefer a centralised service?

@FediTips
Sounds like you hate things like email for example as I see it you are anti spirit of federtion going back to email and usenet. This odd HOA game is one reason so many left the fediverse. The spirit of why things like laconioca or xmpp or email were built was ti allow people to communicate across servers not play server blocking games because someone you hate got an account. I suppose you haye email as well -
