A libre networking project that's designed to bridge protocol spaces together announced its progress and intentions, and Mastodon users freaked out.

Bridgy Fed made a splash earlier this week by announcing its latest progress in connecting the Fediverse to Bluesky and Nostr. Sadly, not everyone was welcoming.

    You know that it is comically easy to scrape stuff off of the fediverse, right?

    Yes, so why would you argue in favour of making it even easier? Do you see why people aren’t too hot on that?

    If you are worried about scraping, use Facebook. Facebook has teams of people who combat bot/scraper activity.

    I don’t use Facebook for philosophical reasons and that’s why I’ve picked the Fediverse as a whole. I find it amazing we still need to re-explain that all the time.
