How about that. @snarfed.org has successfully bridged us with Threads.
hello bluesky 🦋

Regarding the "bridge to Threads." It's opt-in, it works via a kind of bot created by a user, and there's a labeler available to hide bridged users if you're not interested.

Impressed by the label that was set up preemptively of this very moment

haha I'll probably do a threads-specific one in a bit like I did with nostr - esp if we see an influx of all the threads brands 👀

I have found it! the thing that has made me subscribe to labelers!

Composable user controlled moderation as a platform feature really isn't compatible with brand social channels is it

Now I want to see a "buycott" style labeler flagging companies who do shady stuff (since labels can't have reasons/explanations specified yet it would probably need an associated site listing companies along with handles so you can search for their reason + evidence)

Atproto or or /dev/nul motherfuckers 🙌🏻

if this man brings the brands....

we'll bully their social media managers into self lobotomizing, like with Jimmy Fallon

that is one of my prouded moments on here. everything was so new. i yelled at him just to feel something expecting to get blocked, but he was gone that instant
Avatar
it's literally his job to talk to wackos and you took him out immediately. you should absolutely be proud
Avatar
he may talk to wackos but he doesn't know how to hand sickos or weirdos or rascals. alexa play radiohead creep

This would be on my resume forever.

im not even worried about that tbh because of composable moderation. they could come right now, and get labeled and hidden into oblivion

Can't wait to see what the several people who regularly use Threads have to say.

I interviewed both of them for my podcast and let me tell you, they love Taco Bell

Oh shit they're just like me.

But in this one, no one keeps the kids (threads)

Right. No one is keeping the kids.

Everyone queue up your best "silence, brand!" memes!

Threads, owned by Facebook/Meta, where their “privacy” policy lays claim to all our data and device activity. Ugh. No thank you.

It's opt in for now. You can also subscribe to @profile-labels.bossett.social to hide bridgy users.

No, you misunderstood: how do I shut it completely off. No bridge. :p

Essentially what snarfed did was create an opt-in service which creates a mirror account on activitypub (or on atproto if you're on activitypub) You opt in by following the @ap.brid.gy account. If you're not interested in seeing bridged users, @profile-labels.bossett.social has a label for it

Got it so ✨Block✨ @ap.brid.gy is today's task. Thanks Paul.

Can you or @snarfed.org confirm that if I opt-in and later want to opt-out, I can do that by simply unfollowing @ap.brid.gy ? Will my mirrored data from bsky be deleted then?
