2.0 (finally)

it still messes me up how sega made an entire sequel to chuchu rocket, made it exclusive to a subscription service that you can only get on apple devices, and then outright wiped it from existence a few years later

I mean I don't want to subpost like this but I shared my thoughts under a certain post about bridging that you may have seen and I haven't been getting the nicest replies to that

"people are lazy for not checking how their bridged account appears on the other end" "rolls eyes at your post. whatever. blocked" are you people doing okay? do you need a vacation?

@SnowyCA honestly speaking this assumes a lot of people. nobody's lazy for not constantly keeping tabs on bluesky just to see how their bridged accounts are appearing on there, it's an extra task and as far as I'm concerned people take the path of least resistance unless they absolutely want to do otherwise.

@sec_yote_agenda hm, honestly speaking if it was exclusively SFW from the start then I probably would have been inclined to check things out much earlier because it wouldn't have had a bunch of connotations that conflict with my asexuality. I could go on but I think nobody here is willing to listen to me ramble about allonormativity and how it makes asexuals comfortable even if they're sex positive lol

@tobi I'm honestly surprised that people didn't start picking up the pitchforks whenever tumblr banned porn, I think that's the highest profile Payment Processor Incident (with apple also tag teaming with their extremely puritan app store rules) (and it's tumblr's fault too of course)

look I'm gonna be honest once again that if I'm being inappropriate or not content-warning things that really should be tagged then you really need to tell me because I am both absolutely paranoid about overstepping people's boundaries and very inexperienced with talking to other people online

@Em0nM4stodon this seems to be a bit strange and reactionary to me. bridgy fed only deals with public content. if you post something as unlisted/quiet public or followers only then it doesn't bridge. to my knowledge mentions are simply posted as links to the user's profile on their site if they aren't bridged as well.

I could possibly see "dummy" accounts being set up on other sides of the bridge because I did hear that they were working on handling replies from non-bridged accounts. I think this could be handled with a little more grace if this was the case but it's worth mentioning that just about every profile on the fediverse is public and can be viewed just by going to their page in most circumstances.

quote posts have consent built into them and so does bluesky's equivalent. if you don't want to be quoted then you don't have to, there's a dropdown in settings that you can change right now. this seems like a non-issue to me, you're free to elaborate if I'm not understanding something.

this "informed consent to mention" model seems a bit excessive, asking before you tag someone can get tedious very quickly. I'd much rather see this get baked into the software instead if something like this were implemented.

all in all this seems to be a situation that could have been resolved in DMs with snarfed, the developer of bridgy fed, especially if it concerns private information.
