RE: mastodon.social/@fediverserepo

"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.

"But in another sense, this shows the issue with bridging between these two networks, and how this is not just a matter of networking architecture, but of how network architecture leads to different mental models that are not always compatible with each other."

But, also, this. It's fair criticism, and something I think about basically every day.
