Some scattered thoughts:
1) What is the practical impact of an opt-in Bluesky bridge? Let’s assume it’s a rule that 95% of people will go with the default. How is a world where 5% of Masto users can interop with Bluesky, different from one where 95% can? The externalized loss /network effect is less clear to me than with the full text search example.
2) What if opting-in to full text search indexing had been a requirement to make full text searches? I feel like we would have much greater uptake.
