Bridgy Fed, a bridge between the Fediverse and other protocols such as BlueSky, is using an opt-out model and that raises a lot of discussion (github.com)

It's open source, so forking it and making it opt-out shouldn't be too difficult. Your bridge, and possibly server, will probably be blocked everywhere if you run a public instance, though.

I think the best solution to this would be to host a version that only interacts with a whitelist of accounts, so that you and your friends can follow Bluesky people without spamming a thousand duplicate profiles into the federated profile search bar. I'm not sure how well thst works for the Bluesky side, but I'm sure it can be made to work.
