Hey all 👋🏼, Anuj here from @anewsocial, the organization that manages Bridgy Fed.
We recently added a new feature to Bridgy Fed that folks have asked us for [1] - an easy way for admins to automatically bridge their new users and give them custom domain handles on Bluesky. We wanted to take a moment to explain the philosophy behind it, and how we’re trying to do this the right way, keeping consent front-of-mind. 1/10 🧵
There is no principal problem with bridging to another open system, but Bluesky is not. This is no different from federating with Meta’s Threads, which most people on the Fediverse seem to be against as well.

I think bluesky has more goodwill than meta by a loooong shot, though we’ll see if it lasts as more attempts to monetize it are made
