I'm not interested in connecting to the Bridgy Fed Bluesky bridge. In fact, I'm not interested in Bluesky at all.
If a substantial amount of
OpenSim users was on Bluesky and actually
active there, that'd be another story. But such people are just about the only ones whom I seek out and connect to myself. After all, this is not a personal all-purpose channel. This is a channel that's limited in scope and topics.
I don't need followers from Bluesky either. I don't think I've got that much to tell them. Bluesky can't handle posts with over 300 characters, but most of my posts exceed the 1,000-character mark, and many go even much much further.
What would Bluesky users follow me for anyway? I only write about three topics. One, OpenSim. Maybe jabs at other virtual worlds. Next to nobody in the Fediverse has followed me for this, so why should someone on Bluesky, especially seeing as
all my posts will be chopped to a tiny fraction of their original length? Two, the Fediverse beyond Mastodon. Not interesting for Bluesky users. Three, accessibility in the Fediverse. Even less interesting for Bluesky users.
My over 500 connections are a lot already. They're getting hard for Hubzilla to handle, I guess. I don't need
that many more. I mean, the vast majority of connections that were established by the other side first don't have permission to send me their posts anyway because I want to limit the uninteresting off-topic clutter on my stream. For unlike Mastodon where you can simply scroll down one hour worth of posts and be done with it, Hubzilla has an unread activities counter from which you can access them all.
Chances are slim that someone who starts following me from Bluesky posts about OpenSim. Chances are
nil that someone who starts following me from Bluesky posts about the Fediverse beyond Mastodon or accessibility in the Fediverse. And people who post about neither are very likely to have no permission to send me their posts.
As for Threads, I won't connect with anyone there. To my best knowledge, the Hubzilla hubs with both my main channel instance and my clone are blocked by Threads. That's because public Hubzilla hubs cannot comply with Threads' rules, and at least these two particular hubs are big enough for Threads to care and take countermeasures.
