The Bridgy "service" is basically acting as a volunteer advertising arm of a billionaire-backed commercial social network whose business model requires destroying Mastodon. Also this bot will spam you with DMs exhorting you to support their favorite billionaire social network repeatedly if you accidentally say the wrong words or reply to the wrong thing. Their replies are unmonitored. I strongly recommend preemptively blocking @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy
I blocked the whole domain. Same with Threads. If people want me to follow them here, they'll have to make a proper Fedi account.
@jwz I am of the unpopular opinion this kinda post is one of the reasons why people seem to prefer said billionaire-backed commercial social networks over fedi
