They gave me a limit of 1000 users.
It's currently operating on a whitelist of my own two accounts: https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/eclipse/-/blob/main/src/policies/EclipsePolicy.ts?ref_type=heads#L15-16
First I am making sure the format is perfect, and all features are supported. Then I will loosen this policy to allow more users.
I made a ton of progress yesterday. I need probably just 2 or 3 more days on it.
I will have to use some sort of Web of Trust or whitelist. But that's not my choice. It's because they limited me to 1000 users.
They are forcing me to grow it slowly. Which I am not totally against. They're making it my problem instead of their problem. We are in a position where we benefit from this bridge more than they do. We are cucked by Bluesky. They are making it so diplomacy is required. It's smart. It's Art of War. They are winning, etc. This is the brave new world.
