Head's up, if you want to disconnect the bridge to Bluesky, here are the instructions. I exercised this option today, as a result of them "blue checking" ICE. I'd never allow Federation of an ActivityPub instance with Nazis on it, and Bluesky is no exception. #Bluesky
How do I opt out and remove my site or account?
If you're on the fediverse or Bluesky, and you've opted in but now want to opt out, block the Bridgy Fed bot user for the network you want to opt out of. For example, on the fediverse, block @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy. On Bluesky, block @ap.brid.gy.
(However, if you're on a Pixelfed instance, DM the word stop to @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy instead. Pixelfed doesn't yet send the ActivityPub Block activity, so blocking won't work. Hopefully they'll fix that soon!)
If you're on the web, email us from an address at your web site's domain to show that you own it, or you can put the text #nobridge in the profile on your home page and then update your profile on your user page.
Once you've done this, Bridgy Fed will deactivate your bridged profile in that network, and it will no longer bridge any of your posts or interactions there. 1

Mastodon is looking for recruiting support to help us hire two exceptional backend engineers for multiple ambitious projects. More news on the specifics and the job description to follow soon.
This is a rare opportunity to work closely with our team on a non-technical project. If you might be interested in this or know someone, please get in touch. Ideally this should be fully or partially pro bono and start end of January.
It is the year of the personal website! A corporate-free website starter project — using Eleventy — seems like a solid way to get you started as we see it.
I'm slowly starting to share more images from my multi-year project "This Land Remembers", an odyssey into the last remaining ancient native woodlands of Scotland (like this one from a brilliant Autumn morning in 2025). I also have an upcoming exhibition at Gallery Photiq this April/May featuring 12 prints from the project, including this image.

I just got an idea for this year's #plushtodon that I'm very proud of but won't be able to share for months to not ruin the surprise. And of course something might prevent it from happening so no guarantees...
