#FediBlock snarfed.org and brid.gy for bridging fediverse folks to Bluesky against their will (and in likely contravention of GDPR in the EU) with typical Silicon Valley techbro sense of entitlement:
“[O]pt in results in far fewer users, and users are critical for a bridge to be useful.”¹

PS. I just suspended (domain blocked) both snarfed.org and brid.gy from my personal fediverse instance and saw that there was already one account from one and eleven accounts on the other so my account was apparently already being bridged without my consent.
Those links are now severed and they never should have existed without my knowledge or approval to begin with.
@LeeFromVT@masto.aiI have only been on mastodon for a year, but i am completely at a loss to find how to block them in the settings.
I went page by page for all settings and could not find block options.
@LeeFromVT Unless you’re running your own server, you have to ask your server admin to do it.
@LeeFromVT (Although you can still block the specific accounts from your account but you have to find the specific accounts so it’s more involved.)
ETA: While you can "block" domains with a regular account, that only keeps stuff from that domain from reaching you. Things you post can still get to the "blocked" domain.
Thanks to @mnemonicoverload for pointing this out.

It's quite possible to block the entire domain as a regular user: find a profile on the offending domain, and hit the menu. Depending on your client there should be an option to "block domain" or some equivalent option.
@LeeFromVT
@LeeFromVT @aral you can do it by importing a CSV file with both domains on it. Here a link on how to do it step by step:
