ALERT for Bluesky Bridge Users 🚨 🦋

If you are using a Bluesky bridge on Mastodon, DO NOT TAG Mastodon accounts in your posts without prior informed consent from this person.

This could end up showing a preview of this person's profile picture and bio on Bluesky without their consent.

Additionally, be careful about how the upcoming Quote Post feature could behave with Bluesky bridges.

Some of us don't want our information shared with commercial platforms like Bluesky, and have not consented to this bridge.

This practice can even endanger some Fediverse users.

If you have chosen to share your
own data with commercial platforms, make sure you leave the same choice to others.

This is important.

Aside people harassing Randahl (in fediverse), which I'm deeply sorry, I don't see enough information from the screenshot to understand the harassment and form an opinion.
Maybe I need a pointer to Eugen post.

Maybe Randahl can point out to a bug he opened on bridgy-fed, because, as far as I know, there is no way an @ mention can become a web link to the profile of an unbridged user.

Are we sure the other user didn't bridge her account, which is as simple as accept a follower, and then forgot ?
And even if that was possible, it's just a link, can't be in any case be confused with something else.
