I have to say, the Bluesky bridge is confusing for me(!)

I don't use it myself but sometimes I respond to posts and only realise much later it was from a bridge account, in which case the user may or my not see my reply. I certainly don't see my reply on Bluesky. Same thing can happen vice versa.

I don't want a compulsory opt-in to another service, I want the AT and ActivityPub protocols to be compatible. In lieu of that the bridge accounts need to be a lot more obvious in their presentation.

Right now I'm not sure if the brid.gy service makes things better or worse but it feels like the latter to me.

Thinking of reinstalling my computer from scratch to iron out all its kinks and tardiness from years of software experiments and trials. Just need to make sure all files are backed up… as I don't want to reinstall the computer from a backup – which would defeat the purpose.

My other task is I want to turn my old Mac mini into a home server. But that needs many hours of focus… haven't done something like that before.

I think my main concern is getting tech issues out of the way and all my devices set up in the best possible way to support me in not having to deal with tech issues the rest of the year… haha.
