Bluesky: Bridged accounts erroneously have open DMs

[qazmlp]

I'm seeing the speech bubble button on my bridged profile:

I can also send a DM without getting an error:

This is most like due to Bluesky defaulting it to open-to-followers also for other PDSs. Since Bridgy doesn't actually support DMs, I'd like the account to show that its DMs are closed.

Good point! Definitely the right idea. Maybe we could bridge DMs eventually, but not any time soon.

On a related note, I wish the fediverse had this kind of explicit DM awareness! Sadly DMs there are entirely a hack, as is usual with many fediverse features. 😢

I would think they'll make them more of an official part of AP while they work on this encryption standard https://wedistribute.org/2024/05/encrypted-dms-activitypub/

OK, we're now doing this for new users going forward, and I'm running this to backfill existing users:

from arroba.repo import Repo, Write
from arroba.storage import Action
from arroba.util import TombstonedRepo

chat_declaration = {
    "$type" : "chat.bsky.actor.declaration",
    "allowIncoming" : "none",
}

aps = ActivityPub.query(ActivityPub.enabled_protocols == 'atproto',
                        ActivityPub.status == None).fetch()

for i, user in enumerate(aps):
  did = user.get_copy(ATProto)
  print(i, did, user.key.id())
  try:
    repo = arroba.server.storage.load_repo(did)
  except TombstonedRepo:
    continue
  repo.apply_writes([Write(
    action=Action.CREATE, collection='chat.bsky.actor.declaration',
    rkey='self', record=chat_declaration)])
