And not when it requires a crazy amount of resources to run.

How dare you come up with a nuanced take on this topic instead of screaming “eat the rich”!

I don’t think I’ve ever received an e-mail from an Apple Mail address.

Let me see how you get instance admins to agree on what to defederate.

Bluesky allows me to use my domain as my identity and make my own moderation decisions without having to run my own instance.

The difference is that you won’t find yourself unable to send an e-mail because the admin of your e-mail server doesn’t like someone from the recipient’s e-mail server.

That choice is tied to your identity and can’t be easily changed later, which is what I’m complaining about.

You can choose a different moderation service. That’s the point.

But worse than anyone being able to follow that person because they’re using a platform where moderation is separate from identity, as in AtProto.

The Fediverse is, by definition, anything that supports ActivityPub. If BlueSky supported ActivityPub – which is what the bridge was meant to accomplish – then it would be a part of the Fediverse.
