Currently, we have two accounts on our https://Fedi.Punk.Guide list that are actually Bluesky accounts but are mirrored to Mastodon via “Bridgy Fed.”
I'm currently considering removing these accounts from the list and not adding any bridged Bluesky accounts in the future.
Here are the three reasons. What are your thoughts on this?
@FediPunkGuide
Picture one!
I don't agree.
I even want all Bsky punk accounts to bridge their accounts, so people can still follow, if their favorite band is only on insta,fb and bsky, without having an account on these platforms.
Also if you want to have an ATproto account, you don't need to rely on US tech.
There is Eurosky, which is completely hosted on European software. Also blacksky for POC and some more will pop-up. (And are already there). Also eurosky has mirrored
the complete people directory, if something happens with bskys one.
So I was also really critical on bsky (and in some parts I'm still) but I think there happened a lot which should be taken in consideration.
(All aplies to the first picture).
Eurosky said, they will do auto bridging in the future (so you have to opt-out of it)
I would even say, make a bsky.punk.guide

The future of social media should be decentralized and it should be bridged, it should not matter on which platform you are.
(I really changed my mind on that. I still think Fediverse is the best idea , but I think we should be all connected.
@Bonfire is even doing it, all together! Perfect example how it should be.
I will reply later more for picture 2 &3

Replying to my previous messages:
Picture 2 & 3
If any of the Fediverse server goes down, & you haven't backed up, I'm not sure if you can do anything to move your stuff & your followers away tbh. The account is gone,or?
I think in #Holos you can, but not sure about Masto or #Pixelfed
But this aside:
In theory bsky users can already gain a lot of followers via the bridge, and then, if it's big enough, take full control and move to any Mastodon/Fedi server (see screenshot)

@teamscheisse.bsky.social for example have already ~700 Fedi follower.
It works for an AT -> AP bridge, but also for an AP -> AT bridge
(AP = ActivityPub, AT = AT protol)
Maybe the fedbridge developer @snarfed.org can tell you more about the problems you see ? Is there a way to move the account if the bridge is offline?
In theory, the code is public, anyone can run a bridge too, to make it more decentralized.

@FediPunkGuide
But over all for me the most important thing is really:
it should not matter if you are on Fediverse or ATproto.
The only thing that matters is that there is a connection in all open source & decentralized platforms.
And I'm thankful that there is a bridge.

@FediPunkGuide unfortunately you haven't shared it publicly...
that would give it way more reach.
