Copyright has fair use provisions, and one could argue that a bridge that lets you public content on a different network is no different than providing a VCR-to-DVD service.

My choice of present continuous was deliberate.
I'm not a fan of Bluesky, but to call it "centralized billionaire backed platform" makes no sense anymore. They are opening for federation already, and Jack Dorsey is now just shilling Bitcoin on Nostr.
Should federation between servers be opt-in?
Should Mastodon-compatible clients have posts private-by-default on the UI?
This argument against bridges is beyond stupid. If you are posting on a public network, it's more than reasonable to work with the expectation that your content will be visible outside of original channel.
If you are looking for a system just for you and low on resources, I'd recommend https://gotosocial.org. Single binary, easy to setup and supports S3 storage.
I've been doing for months already and have not been banned/shadowbanned.
PS: please stop with the stalking. You have been downvoting every comment and post of mine for the past days, even when not involved in the conversation. If you continue with this, you will be reported and perhaps you will understand that is not the Lemmy-linking that getting you banned from reddit, but just your obnoxious behavior.
You being shadowbanned and a site-wide censorship of links to Lemmy are two distinct things.
That is absolutely not the case. I have posted many links to lemmy there. The only thing I still do on Reddit is discussion related to Lemmy and fediverser, there is nothing being blocked and I afaict am not being blocked.
What do you mean? Are you talking about the software in general or that can't login into my instance specifically?
I wish we had Google Play Music again.
Not exactly Google Music, but I recently started working on a Funkwhale instance where people can have up to 250GB of space for their personal music collection and where I am planning to have a store front for musicians who'd like to sell/promote their own songs as well. 29€/year if you go to https://communick.com/packages/access. Sounds reasonable?
Everyone who wants good quality discussion left quickly when people started to act terrible.
That, and the fact that simply there isn't enough good discussion to begin with. This community kind of has movement because it's a meta-topic, but for everything else it's mostly "let's pretend we are superior than redditors because we found our way here and "let's pretend we are not in Reddit for all the other niche communities that we are still interested."
I think the biggest mistake in the execution of the protests is the effort was spread around "going dark" for as many subreddits as possible. It would be a lot more effective if we got one big-ish niche and told them "let's focus all our efforts to get you out of Reddit and migrate completely to any other alternative." Go for something completely random but with commercial interest, like /r/sneakers, and if a moderate success of getting 15% of the user base to Lemmy would translate into 500k signups.
No. There is a difference in context and intent.
Bottom line is, if people are concerned of having their conversation and content distributed out of their intended audiences, we'll all have to move to a fully encrypted network, where every message can only be decoded by the intended recipients. Getting upset because other people are not agreeing to your expectations of privacy is pointless.
