Nothing stopping people from forking & improving it, except for time & desire.
No, we know very little about how these bridges operate, or any kind of "dashboard" information like that. nostr:nprofile1qydhwumn8ghj7emvv4shxmmwv96x7u3wv3jhvtmjv4kxz7gpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43z7qgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhx6mmnw3ezuur4vghsqgqyv87tanzvxd6y8xfj66u0zynfendhejtn44a9pt3k9kcntfr5m5c5utfg operates Mostr but doesn't really respond to comments about it, except occasionally to cuss me out...

And whomever is responsible for "momostr" has intentionally not disclosed their npub.
To respond to the 2nd point about content... I've personally not had that experience, I follow a bunch of Mastodon npubs that post content I want to see, like nostr:nprofile1qyvhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddakk7um5wgh8q6twdvhsqgxqexcr5rkwztv2lxhqachh5vxg6hh4eqcacar0nrxm934gpypzvqxy3xgs for instance

Yeah, alright buddy... You can have a "safe space" for a certain ideology, or you can have an open, decentralized, censorship-resistant social media commons... You can't have both.
This is the mirror image of BlueSky worrying about whether decentralization leads to the spread of right-wing ideology.

Yeah, true... Although it's made much more difficult by the absolute refusal of anyone involved in these projects to actually talk about what the problems are. (and it doesn't help that it's on Gitlab, which makes you pay to post "issues")...
