I'm pretty sure that people were unhappy because it was opt-out at first. Now that bridging is opt-in, I don't think most people have a problem with it and I've seen a number of posts from both sides of the bridge so it seems to be working.
It's unfortunate that (at least on the Bluesky side) an attempt at following a person doesn't result in them getting a DM asking for that to be ok.
Which means following a person on Bluesky is not possible unless they've already opted in.
All I want to do is follow a couple of authors or content creators but none of them know what bridgy.fed is :(
Ah damn. I just came across the first time I wanted to actually use this. It requires opt-in from both ends‽ No wonder people aren't upset, the damn thing is nearly useless.
