Google really seems to want to disincentivize people paying for YouTube Premium rather than just downloading an ad blocker.

Yes. That’s the idea.

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?
