I've been using Firefox Relay. Should I switch to something else? I already have 27 email masks with them and switching would be a real pain in the ass.

This is only great news if you are Mark Zuckerberg and you want a near-monopoly on social media.
Unfortunately, Bridgy Fed is currently opt-in. For a Bluesky user to interact with a Mastodon user, both have to follow the Bridgy Fed account. There is ongoing discussion about Mastodon instance opt-in, and making Bluesky opt-out.
I highly encourage you to participate in this conversation as a Mastodon user.
Well you can nicely ask your instance admin to block Bridgy Fed
Bluesky's ActivityPub support is also leagues better than Threads because of Bridgy Fed. At least a Bluesky user and a Mastodon user can follow each other and have a back-and-forth conversation.
- As far as I know, there aren't any yet. Even if there were, I personally wouldn't trust them for the same reason I wouldn't use any Mastodon instance besides mastodon.social: if the PDS shuts down abruptly, your account is gone forever.
- Bluesky and ATProto are designed specifically to hide the ways in which it's decentralized.
- I think this post does a good job visualizing how AtProto is different from ActivityPub.
This is for if you want to host parallel infrastructure. If you only want to self-host your own data, the instructions create a PDS are here, and the instructions to migrate an existing Bluesky account to that PDS are here.
