@bedirthan that is correct, anything I can do to help your communities with badges?

@theraccoonbytes no, I was only surprised to learn I was following one version of you, but not this one
Although! an SaH badge might be cool

We're excited to launch our most-requested Bridgy Fed feature: being able to interact with unbridged users!
Starting today, when people interact with you on the other side of the bridge, you'll get a notification over DM along with a "respond" link, where you can like, repost, reply, or block.
More details here: https://blog.anew.social/launch-interact-with-unbridged-replies-mentions/
@anewsocial There's no way the most requested feature isn't to be able to follow anyone, regardless of whether they follow Bridgy!

@anewsocial most-requested bridgy fed feature: violate the consent of users
@flaviusflavius may I ask why you feel this violates consent? We embed the post and don't pull it into any of our systems. Only the ActivityPub actor can engage with the post on the Fediverse, and no one in the other ecosystem can see it on their native platform.

@rosewsgf To preserve privacy, we don't "look" at any posts/profiles that don't directly engage with the bridge. While that may be a popular ask (it's actually less popular than this one!), it's not in our jurisdiction, unfortunately.

@anewsocial All my Responses are going to be "Can you Bridge please?" So thanks.

@quillmatiq When following the bot, one assurance is that only those that agree to being part of the fediverse, or the other way around, get to participate: limiting the number of non-commital replies you get from over the bridge. It's also a slippery slope for fully automatic bridging.
-
one important point here is that this only lets you interact with someone who's not bridged after they've interacted with you, and only to directly respond to that interaction. nothing else. we hope that maintains people's existing expectations, in general.

@flaviusflavius Getting non-committal (I actually think bridging is a form of committing, but I digress) isn't a conversation around consent. I think that if you're replying to or mentioning someone, they have the right to respond.
As far as a slippery slope - we've been very clear since the founding of A New Social about never auto-bridging anyone on Bridgy Fed. We've specifically designed this feature so that the unbridged user is not exposed to the bridge.

@quillmatiq My understanding is that Bridgy was initially to be opt-out, but then people took issue with that and the default had to be changed, so I get that. Still, it's unfortunate, especially considering for all the dozens requests sent by me via Bridgy, not one person has followed it. Creating a Bluesky account just to ask also got it immediately blocked by Bluesky.

Mails or DMs with links to click are always suspicious.
