"When fediverse users say they don’t want to be bridged to Bluesky, they’re applying an ActivityPub mental model to ATProto infrastructure. In one sense this is a bit of a category error, the bridge connects to networking infrastructure, not the application. This way your’e not just refusing to federate with the Bluesky-the-app but with the entire ecosystem, including apps with different values, such as Blacksky or Leaflet."

This. It's like blocking the entire Fedi because Threads is in it.
