For instances that already have a user base, admins should not make any significant decisions without the consent of their users. This goes against our values, and we will not permit an instance to use Bridgy Fed in this manner. We've had conversations on how to handle a situation like this, and we would block instances [3] from doing so. We strongly expect admins to be loud about bridging, especially during signup. 3/10

This is very encouraging to read from a project that initially did not understand why many would be opposed to an opt-out bridge to ATProto.

Yep. Ryan (the only BridgyFed dev at the time) really did absorb the feedback and changed direction, and Anuj also gets the importance of consent.
