How to block Bluesky from Mastodon:
1. Go to the profile page of the account @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy
2. Click ⋯
3. Click "Block Domain" to stop seeing Bluesky accounts
4. Click "Block" to prevent your own account being bridged to Bluesky
You may need to copy-paste @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy into the search box on your server to make the profile appear.
If you can't find the account @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy, your server is probably already blocking the Bluesky bridge.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services 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.
@David@setouchi.social
Indeed Feditips is against the very idea of a Fediverse and should change their account name.

@David@setouchi.social @FediTips@social.growyourown.services Virtue Signaling is the point with a lot of this stuff. Its the same thing that happened with Meta’s attempt to federate threads. It’s misguided in my opinion but some people are more sensitive then others about such things. I’m a big fan of meeting people where they are as long as where they are isn’t an outright nazi bar.
@David@setouchi.social
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.
@gravitas@pl.ugh.im @David@setouchi.social
It's not sensitivity or "virtue signalling", it's genuine anger over what is being done to people. It is sincere concern for innocent human lives.
The entire reason I do my accounts and sites is because I am terrified of what is being done to vulnerable groups, and furious with those who are doing it.
If you disagree with this stance, you're free to unfollow me.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services
Thanks for doing what you do - it is appreciated!
@David@setouchi.social
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services I feel more and more that your account is for advising people to use the Fediverse the way YOU like it.
Or if I ask how to bridge your account to Bluesky, you will also post a thread about this to explain it to the people?
How about communication with Threads? Can you explain it please? I'm a bit unsure about it.
And "virtue signaling" means what it means, I'm not sure why this expression shouldn't be used when it's appropriate?
@David@setouchi.social
"I feel more and more that your account is for advising people to use the Fediverse the way YOU like it."
They asked me for the advice I posted. Are you saying I shoudn't give people advice when they ask for it?
"How about communication with Threads?"
Meta's dangerous approach to moderation has been linked to several genocides (e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/dec/06/rohingya-sue-facebook-myanmar-genocide-us-uk-legal-action-social-media-violence ), so again I'd advise people to defederate it.
I've been saying this for years.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services You missed my point about Threads. You said you're not telling people what they should do and how they should use the Fediverse.
So I'm asking you to please explain people how to connect with Threads, if you just "advise people." That's advice that's good to know.
I know you won't do it. And that's my point. You present your advice as objective or neutral when they're not.
I'm not saying they should, I'm saying that maybe you should be a bit more upfront about your editorial line.
@David@setouchi.social
I am an unpaid volunteer trying to do my bit against the rise of fascism.
The reason I give up most of my spare time running my accounts and sites is to help people onto platforms that aren't owned and run by pro-fascist billionaires.
"And virtue signaling means what it means"
It's a meaningless phrase with its origins in the far right, which attempts to dismiss sincere concern for other human beings as somehow fake or staged. If you use it, this is what you imply.

Is there only one?

Fascism is rising, the world is the most in danger it has been since 1939, we all have a duty as human beings to stop it.
Please put your energy into that instead of doing debating society crap.
