I don’t think I’ve ever received an e-mail from an Apple Mail address.

Let me see how you get instance admins to agree on what to defederate.

It tries to auto-determine when to trigger, but you can explicitly trigger it by putting a question mark after your query.

Bluesky allows me to use my domain as my identity and make my own moderation decisions without having to run my own instance.

The difference is that you won’t find yourself unable to send an e-mail because the admin of your e-mail server doesn’t like someone from the recipient’s e-mail server.

That choice is tied to your identity and can’t be easily changed later, which is what I’m complaining about.

You can choose a different moderation service. That’s the point.

But worse than anyone being able to follow that person because they’re using a platform where moderation is separate from identity, as in AtProto.

The Fediverse is, by definition, anything that supports ActivityPub. If BlueSky supported ActivityPub – which is what the bridge was meant to accomplish – then it would be a part of the Fediverse.

By using the Fediverse, you implicitly opt in to having your content federated between different platforms. How is this any different?

Seeing the reaction to the bridge, it seems that most Mastodon users don’t want AtProto to be compatible with ActivityPub.

So you didn’t get the choice at all? I guess people who sign up this way are going to be really confused why they can’t follow some accounts their friends can.

Do you have any evidence that Trump wants to imprison and execute LGBT people?

I personally like Purelymail. Cheap and bullshit-free.

I have no rebottomal for this comment.

It already has Twitter-like and Instagram-like platforms. How much worse can it get?

How is this walled-garden behavior? There is no centralized database of Minetest accounts.

How would federation with Threads have any effect on the usability of a Mastodon instance?

Terminally online people often get the feeling that everyone except a hateful minority agrees with them, when in reality they’re part of a secluded echo chamber.
