You can use this website to bypass it.

Here is a link for the blog post you just cited.

That is by design. From a user’s perspective, the only indication that Bluesky is decentralized federated is the option to select a different “hosting provider” when logging in.

ideally they would close signups and suggest people signup on alternatives instead

Is that what you would actually expect Bluesky to do if they were committed to decentralization?

The tradeoffs Bluesky made to achieve that means that Bluesky doesn’t have private posts. In fact, Bluesky doesn’t have private blocks.

It’s two way bridging. The issue is that Bluesky users also must opt-in to having their posts be bridged to Mastodon (by following @ap.brid.gy).

I actually still don’t understand why one would be in favor of federation but opposed to bridging. In esscence, bridging is just federation.

Why?

I do wish that Lemmy instances would do this.

Is this it? Do I have to leave the country now?
