Today we were made aware of multiple Fediverse blog posts incorrectly attributing “vote Trump” spam on Bluesky to the Mostr.pub Bridge.
This spam is NOT coming from Mostr. From the screenshots used in these blogs, it's clear the spam is coming from an entirely different bridge called momostr.pink. This bridge is not affiliated with Mostr, and is not even a fork of Mostr. We appreciate that the authors of these posts responded quickly to us and have since corrected the blogs.
Mostr.pub uses stirfry policies for anti-spam filtering. This includes an anti-duplication policy that prevents spam like the recent “vote Trump” posts we’ve seen repeated over and over.
It is important to note WHY there are multiple bridges, though.
When Mostr.pub launched, multiple major servers immediately blocked Mostr, including Mastodon.social. The moderators of Mastodon.social claimed that this was because Nostr was unregulated, and suggested to one user that if they want to bridge their account they should host their own bridge.
That is exactly what momostr.pink, the source of this spam, has done.
The obvious response to the censorship of the Mostr Bridge is to build more bridges.
While we have opted for pro-social policies that aim to reduce spam and build better connections between decentralized platforms, other bridges built to get around censorship of the Mostr Bridge may not — as we’re already seeing.
There will inevitably be multiple bridges, and we’re working on creating solutions to the problems that arise from that. In the meantime, if the Fediverse could do itself a favor and chill with the censorship for two seconds, we might not have so many problems.

Threads users aged 18+ with public profiles can now choose to share their Threads posts to other ActivityPub-compliant servers -- which means they an federate across the Mosr Bridge! Here's how to follow opted-in accounts on Threads from Nosr.
At the moment, Threads federation only works one way, and it''s unclear how many users are opting in. Nonetheless, we know that growing the available network on #Nostr is key for lowering the barrier to entry new users experience when joining decentralized platforms. #GrowNostr

We've added the ability to look up supported accounts by their local username across multiple platforms including the Fediverse, Bluesky, and Threads!

Manually - there's still a limited number of accounts that opt in to the bridge on either platform, so they can be hard to discover.

We've added some new suggested followers on Threads to the Mostr bridge. Check it out!
Know of any accounts on the Threads or Bluesky who have opted into Federation that you think we should feature? Let us know!

That's correct! It's not us being nice, though, it's @npub1pqr…2sck. They chose to be opt-in-only to be polite.
We, on the other hand, do not care. 😃

With Nostr, ActivityPub, Bluesky, and Threads all moving towards interoperability or bridging with each other, it's clear who's still living in the dark ages. Centralized platforms are dying. Open protocols are the future.

With major companies like Meta realizing the future potential of decentralized social media, connecting across protocols has never been more important.
#Nostr users can soon follow anyone on Threads via the Mostr bridge as Meta adds support for Activity Pub. This opens up a massive base of mainstream users, breaking down the #networkeffect barrier that new protocols struggle to overcome. This is hugely important for user retention.
Hopefully, once Threads users discover Nostr through our bridged interactions, they will realize what they're missing out on by staying under the control of Meta! #GrowNostr
