@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.

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.
@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.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services "the far right"?
Is there only one?
@David@setouchi.social
"You present your advice as neutral"
I absolutely do not.
I am against fascism and bigotry.
My entire point for doing all my accounts and sites without pay is to try to fight the hatred.
Neutrality at a time like this is obscene.
@David@setouchi.social
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.

"It ia obvious that you're not neutral even though you present yourself that way."
Except... they never have? And tbh I think u know that, David, you're just weirdly offended that they're not running their account the way you want them to.
This reply guy stuffs doesn't do you any favors, BTW.
