Is breaking the bridge to BlueSky something that only the administrators of Fediverse instances can do, or can ordinary users do it too?

What effect these tags have when you put them in bio? I saw some people have it
A little #PSA about the @mastogram@dindon.one service if any of you use it to bridge their #fedi account with #bluesky .
The service is operated by a company called behind.ai which I guess mean everything you give them would processed into #ai bullshit.
Since I LOVED bridges and content stealers the account took a suspension here .
Also since they don't know how to code, the title element on the mastogram website still say "behind.ai"
Un petit avertissement de service pour ceux qui utiliserai @mastogram@dindon.one pour ponter leurs comptes #fedi #bluesky , etc.
Ce service est publié par une boite qui fait de l'#IA je suppose donc qu'elle pompe tout ce que l'on file et elle à donc manger une suspension sur l'instance.
Petite capture ou l'on voit que c'est tellement des branques qu'ils ont pas changé l'élément titre de la page.
Hi and thanks!
I am not an expert but there have been a couple of services to automatically bridge posts to and from various fediverse appliances and Bluesky. They weren’t opt-in, as I would’ve preferred, but claimed to offer an opt-out option if one put the #NoBridge hashtag in one’s profile. I don’t know if it works, but I keep it there because I seldom look at my profile.
@cthululemon Beautiful photo! Question about your profile: What does #NoBridge mean? I've seen it in other places but don't know. Thank you!
@atomicpoet @dansup we should be building tools to create better experiences, not griping about #noindex #nobridge and the sort. There will always be people not following the rules. If you care about privacy, don't post PII, and don't post anything you wouldn't mind falling into the hands of big tech. In the age of LLMs they will do everything they can to circumvent any protection implemented by fedi devs and they have way more resources. UX > Fedi social norms 100% of the time IMO.

that's perfectly fine, everyone is entitled to their own approach, and if that works for you, i'm not going to dispute you
that's the beauty of #decentralized: you do whatever you want
i speak only for my rationale. and no #bluesky bridge for me #nobridge
because any #socialmedia with vulture capital #venturecapital behind it will eventually become #twitter
you cannot trust any social media that is not a #nonprofit
because of the governing structure
#threads is Fuckerberg, sorry #Zuckerberg #Meta
and #bluesky is cool, but all it takes is the #crypto bros and #capitalist sleaze funding it to get antsy and it is going to shit with #ads, #spying, and #political manipulation
it's not worth investing your time
i’ve trained myself to become such a committed hashtag loather that even putting “#nobridge” in my bio was an unpleasant experience (not that i have the hubris to imagine a third party would be nonconsensually bridging my shite to blu€sky but sometimes you have to take the pettiest of opportunities for performative anticapitalism)
On a related matter, there’s also the #Bluesky bridge to the #fediverse. I think it’s still developing, but no longer marked “work in progress.” It worked well enough for me on mastodon.social. I think it may be coincidence that it had issues around the time I migrated. But in the last week it’s also started working on the new instance.
There are some limitations. The biggest is no support for edits. There is also no support for polls, which is too bad for #HangTrek & #SarlaccPit. I’m not seeing replies or other interactions coming through from Bluesky at all, though occasionally I can see a reply there on my bridged profile. It’s imperfect, but there’s some good bits & it can help attract eyes to your content. And it will probably evolve more features like poll support.
Most of your public (not quiet public or lower visibility) posts are replicated on Bluesky if you opt in by following @bsky.brid.gy. You can block the bot at any time to undo the bridge & toggle on/off with follow/block. You can also add #nobridge to your bio to avoid being visible outside #Mastodon (including #Threads). Without bridging, you can follow Bluesky accounts on Mastodon, but your replies will not be visible. The Threads bridge is entirely one-way afaik, at least for now.
Here’s my bridged Bluesky profile. You can see when I boost another user whose account is also bridged, the boost shows up on my profile. If I boost someone who’s not bridged, the boost doesn’t show up on Bluesky. There’s a small delay (minutes), but not much.
I don't think the guppe instances are bridged to Bluesky.

@mastodonmigration Glad I have #nobridge set on my profile if Bluesky is going to start doing trackers, data sale, and targetted ads. I ban targetted ads and trackers without exception from every device I own.
