Assuming the big door in this context is to join an ActivityPub server, I know several people who came here when Twitter blew up and weren’t warmly welcomed. Lots of people telling them they were doing it wrong, etc. So, they left and went to places like Threads or BlueSky. This is giving them a chance to be on their instance of choice (BlueSky) and still follow their friends who did stay on ActivityPub.

    Let’s assume that the intention is good, it’s true, social relations are important, I agree. Will the bridge only allow humans to pass? or bots too?

      My guess is it won’t have any way to know. But I don’t know if BS has a bot tag like Mastodon.

      I would also say not all bots are bad. You can have bots that report traffic or weather. Governments have bots for distributing information.

      I feel like a lot of the responses to this have been reactions to the worst possible scenario. That rarely happens. Reality is somewhere in the middle.

        @jamie@boothcomputing.social @snarfed.org@snarfed.org @activitypubblueskybridge@venera.social There is good and bad everywhere, I am like anyone who loves this fediverse world as it is with these current flaws, and the motivated people who each try to improve it on their own. I hope the bridge follows the same logic.
