So what I want to know is why? Why is it a good idea? Are these bridges from our Nostr accounts to other platforms or vice-versa? If vice-versa then why? Why would you give someone the ability to use and at the same time not use the actual network Nostr is. Allowing someone to post from say, Twitter, to Nostr just prolongs Twitter use IMHO.
Just trying to understand is all
It's not a good idea. The goal is to limit my reach and maybe yours since you sound like maybe you can do critical thinking
How would the reach of our Nostr notes, etc be limited by bridging? I mean those platforms that do ban and moderate heavily could block my notes from their platform, but they can't limit my reach on Nostr. Sorry, I'm the slow kid in class lol
This delays or prevents shrinking of Bluesky's user base by people moving to nostr.
Meanwhile, those people continuing to be on bluesky do not have any chance of seeing my posts as they would on nostr, since Bluesky has me permanently banned
There's also the spam issue these bridges create within nostr itself, as nostr:npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 replied about here, triggering Derek Ross to go on a gaslighting spam reply spree in the attached subthread

Thanks for the follow ups. So, the SPAM would make Global spammier basically making it hard to find new interesting people who are actually using the Nostr network is pretty much what you're saying? I mean I can choose not to look at the global feed, but I do understand if you wanted to find new folks outside your network then it would be sloppy as all get out I guess
It's not a "would" thing; these bridges are one of the reasons nostr sucks right now, as Rich Nost described. Tons of nostr users who would find my content without this spam to dig through don't; tons of non nostr users who would find my content without this spam to dig through driving them off nostr, also don't; there are surely nostr users making good posts I don't find because of this spam; there are surely good posters not using nostr for me to find because of this spam; Gleason doesn't seem to give a fuck whether Digit is alive or dead, much less whether I can find anyone to work with on any of my work, so he keeps trying to make this worse instead of admitting he's done anything wrong.
And this is all aside from the issue that strengthening Bluesky, which has bans, delays/prevents movement to nostr, which doesn't have bans.
