[bluesky => fediverse] Automatically Bridge Bluesky Accounts that Follow Bridged Fediverse Accounts

[ch0ccyra1n]

Is it not reasonable to argue that this would count as consent to be bridged? It states directly in the profiles of every bridged account that it is bridged, so one could reasonably assume following a bridged account is a signal that they want to be bridged. I have a bunch of non-bridged followers from Bluesky following my bridged account, and would like them to be bridged so I can see that they followed me without having to open it on Bluesky. Otherwise I'm completely in the dark about these users.

Good question! It's been discussed before, eg #1535 (comment), #1574 (comment) . From those:

The problem is that many/most people who follow a bridged account won't [necessarily] know...that the bridge exists or what it is, so auto-bridging them would be a surprise.

I use a simpler, stricter interpretation in Bridgy Fed. If you haven't opted in (on fediverse or Bluesky), or you opt out (on web), we don't bridge your profile or activity at all. Full stop. Bridging is already complicated enough for people to understand, so I try to make things as simple as possible, especially when they're safety relevant, like opt in/out.

Am i remembering wrong, or there was the ipothesis, once it's not just your personal project anymore, of rediscussing opt-out on bluesky side ?
We all know that average people there don't enable bridge there because they don't get it, they're less techy.
While on fediverse we have our good slice of techy puritans

Up to now there is a single centralized thing there, if their administrators decide this is a good thing, is law for their users.
They could even use it to say "look, we're open and decentralized"

Yes! That's #1471
