Nice -
@virtuous_sloth @FediTips Yes, I know about that. But it was a bug, not a feature. Bugs happen. And it's been fixed.
@jorgecandeias @virtuous_sloth @FediTips
Are you willing to guarantee - on the penalty of death by ICE - that there are no other such "bugs"? -

@FediTips
So number 4 - blocking the bot - is the important one?Asking because Moshidon doesn't show a domain option.

This is not about you, it's about the people who might follow your advice. If you are willing to risk their life, you should be willing to risk your own. -

@FediTips Does blocking the domain still work if someone you follow boosts a toot from it?

People are here on the fediverse, on a network that is inherently unsafe (as all are). Here, bad actors only need to lay low to grab all the information they want from people, as only when they reveal themselves blocking can happen.
And they worry with the tiny little probability of a bug sending their data elsewhere?
Come on. Be real.
Risk exists right here, right now. People should really be well aware of that.

@FediTips
Your account will only be bridged to Bluesky if you *follow* the bridgy account.If you have followed it in order to have your account bridged and have now changed your mind, you need to block it. If you have never followed it, blocking it is unnecessary.

@FediTips Look at me being ahead of the curve.

#Bluesky verified an account for US Immigration & Customs Enforcement, so even more people here want even less to do with Bluesky.

@FediTips And why would you want to do that?

@loki_bass @FediTips People being paranoid and not understanding how the bridge works, once again... It happens every six months or so.

Bluesky started hosting the Trump regime's ICE, so a lot of people asked how they can stop seeing Bluesky accounts bridged to Mastodon.
I did this post as there was so much demand to find out how to do this.
-
@loki_bass @FediTips People being paranoid and not understanding how the bridge works, once again... It happens every six months or so.
No.
Instead of being patronising, you could pay attention to Bluesky hosting ICE, and respect people's wishes to have absolutely nothing to do with such a Nazi-welcoming platform.

@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.

People asked me how to do this, I am telling them. That's what my account is for.
"What is the purpose apart from virtue signaling?"
Show some respect for people's choices instead of using a phrase more associated with the far right.
"If you don't want to see a Bluesky account in the Fediverse, don't follow any. As simple as that."
No it isn't. If Bluesky accounts are bridged into your server you will see them pop up elsewhere, even if you don't follow them.
