Most of the accounts that I read at Bluesky are trans people's accounts and I read them from outside the system without an account.

I don't feel particularly motivated to delve into that platform any deeper than that, given its safety issues and general corporate fuckery. I'd rather not.

I just saw someone say, "I'm putting a lot of interesting stuff on my Bluesky account but not here. Read my stuff over there, too! I might bridge it if the mood strikes me." (not a direct quote)

Eh, no.

I keep seeing boosts of bridged accounts when the person actually has an account here, and that kind of bugs me. The idea of being present everywhere at once feels slick but I've never watched it work well. Though, I suppose if it did work well i may never notice

@RnDanger It doesn't seem to work that well at this point? The bridging solution seems like a bit of a kluge.

@RnDanger I briefly had my .social account bridged with Bluesky and found out that a bunch of bots and garbage accounts had followed my bridged account on Bluesky and I had no idea. The permission request for new followers does not transfer over to a bridged account over there. That's a security concern for me.

Anyway, I deleted my bridged account over there. No thanks.

The pattern I've noticed is that people who are monetizing their online presence will "vote with their feet" in favor of commercial platforms, and against noncommercial, open source, or DIY communities. Good riddance, as far as I'm concerned. I can see reading BlueSky posts without logging in, but of course for Substack posters I won't do even that.

Got a Bluesky account myself, with another username. It's just because there are some who aren't here, that I want to see their stuff. It's entirely read only for me, though, and I have no plans to bridge either way.
