I’d be more sympathetic to arguments for making bridges out of fedspace opt-out rather than opt-in if they didn’t dismiss entirely the problem of how the bridge acts as a proxy in any and all moderation disputes between instances in each bridged network, and that’s not a role I want filled by some random techbro with a stack he’s desperately trying to find a way to monetize.
Seriously people. Stop huffing the paint thinner. Some random tech-dude sees a place to build a bridge where a bridge doesn’t currently exist, and the first question to ask them is about how they are thinking about the opportunity to charge a toll for crossing it. When the answer comes back “you’re already crossing it now, and I’m not even thinking yet about how to charge you for it,” the first thing to do is destroy the bridge.
