Buy your own domain and use it for e-mails (there are many providers that support custom domains). If your provider shuts down, just switch to a different one and keep the same address.

ChromeOS user.

And not when it requires a crazy amount of resources to run.

How dare you come up with a nuanced take on this topic instead of screaming “eat the rich”!

I don’t think I’ve ever received an e-mail from an Apple Mail address.

Let me see how you get instance admins to agree on what to defederate.

It tries to auto-determine when to trigger, but you can explicitly trigger it by putting a question mark after your query.

Bluesky allows me to use my domain as my identity and make my own moderation decisions without having to run my own instance.

That choice is tied to your identity and can’t be easily changed later, which is what I’m complaining about.

You can choose a different moderation service. That’s the point.

But worse than anyone being able to follow that person because they’re using a platform where moderation is separate from identity, as in AtProto.

The Fediverse is, by definition, anything that supports ActivityPub. If BlueSky supported ActivityPub – which is what the bridge was meant to accomplish – then it would be a part of the Fediverse.

By using the Fediverse, you implicitly opt in to having your content federated between different platforms. How is this any different?

Seeing the reaction to the bridge, it seems that most Mastodon users don’t want AtProto to be compatible with ActivityPub.

So you didn’t get the choice at all? I guess people who sign up this way are going to be really confused why they can’t follow some accounts their friends can.

Do you have any evidence that Trump wants to imprison and execute LGBT people?

Do you have a link to the research? I’m a math educator and I’d like some good materials for encouraging my students.

If the situation is as you described, you are definitely in the right.

This is not how you demonstrate that you’re on the better side.
