tree 木74d agoBridgy Fed on AT Protocol is a typical bridge, connecting Activity Pub and Bluesky. Sure, it's probably a bit useful.... but I also see the danger - that there's one enthusiast who runs it and who now has the power to manipulate all those thousands bridged profiles. Or turn it off, in short, it's all dependent on one intermediary. The complexity of bridging clearly points towards centralization.

As it's always been throughout history... The operators of bridges, the original "trolls taking a toll", have always enjoyed this sort of privileged position.
Society responds by (a) building more bridges to compete, or eventually (b) obviating the need for the bridge in the first place by migration to whatever side of the bridge has "greener pastures."
