      If they’re afraid of that, they joined the Fedi with a fundamental misunderstanding of how its supposed to work.

      Yeah I was about to say, sure this isn’t ActivityPub, but the specific implementation of the federation should be an impolementation detail the user should never care about. You joined a federated system. Your content gets federated. Period. Whether said federation happens through ActivityPub, AT, some bridge system or the Binford Content Disperser 5000XL+, that’s really not the point of any discussions so long as the content does get federated.

        The same exact people will whine about how Bluesky should have been using ActivityPub in one second, and bitch about how they don’t want their content bridged over there in the next. It’s almost as if they haven’t thought this through.

        Of course anyone is free to join an instance that blocks the bridge - that’s part of the beauty of the whole system.

      It’s not confusing. People just have different ideas about what the experience should be

          No they’re not confused. I’ve seen a lot of these discussions on Mastodon. They don’t misunderstand the tech, they’re actively trying to curate a community.

            Exactly. There’s a core disagreement about whether making a public post means consenting to it being used for all purposes without consent (the multiple battles about consent-based search), but relatively few people are confused about whether bad actors will use it without consent.

              Yeah the people throwing up their hands about ppl not understanding the tech are raging at a strawman. It’s also a BS argument that acceptable behaviour is only what the tech allows.

              Wouldn’t this better be served by implementing per-post licensing, rather than mixing federation into it? After all, most of the real issue is people not accepting the fact that, regardless of federation, bad actors can do bad things with their content. Federation is not gonna change that, but at least licensing posts would allow you a legal avenue to pursue, which currently doesn’t seem to exist.

        But public posts federating across the network isn’t an “experience”. It’s the basic functionality of the network.
