Bridgy Fed made a splash earlier this week by announcing its latest progress in connecting the Fediverse to Bluesky and Nostr. Sadly, not everyone was welcoming.

The whole point of federated social media was to get out of walled gardens, yet here we are, building a walled garden.

To an extent yes, but I think it's pretty easy to see why people are building their own closed communities on the Fediverse. That was the whole "selling point" of it at the beginning. "Not happy with Twitter? Just spin up your own fedi instance where you have your own rules and you can control who joins and who doesn't".
