I don't get the problem. It's just syncing public information back and forth. I mean, the information is fully public for anyone to access. If you mind who accesses it, you shouldn't make it public.
In ActivityPub, you have the freedom to defederate.
This bridge doesn't allow you to do so, I can understand why people have issues with it.
@Blaze What do you mean by "doesn't allow you to do so"? Instance can block bridge domain and it will not be federated
How is it different from the rest of instances?
@Carighan
I was referring to the
https://fed.brid.gy/docs#opt-out
Seems like defederation is not enough in this case, as it's not mentioned as a way to opt-out.
That's user level changes. You can still defed from the bridge. It actually makes this whole situation even more ridiculous. If you don't agree with who your instance federates with you fucking leave.
