Re-enable tombstoned Bluesky bridged accounts that tried to re-enable themselves

[snarfed]

People can now undo deactivating their Bluesky bridged accounts, #1130, but only going forward. I need to manually fix accounts that we deactivated before that, by tombstoning: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/1130#issuecomment-2430525165.

Here's repl code that works for this, modulo https://github.com/snarfed/arroba/issues/34:

a = ActivityPub.query(ActivityPub.handle == '...').get()
a.enabled_protocols = ['atproto']
a.obj.copies = []
a.obj.put()
a.copies = []
a.put()
ATProto.create_for(a)
ATProto.bot_follow(a)

... I need to manually fix accounts that we deactivated before that, by tombstoning: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/1130#issuecomment-2430525165.

Will there be a request process for the manual fixes? 🙏

[snarfed]

Good question! I don't know. I can generally detect people who tried unsuccessfully to re-activate their Bluesky bridged accounts, but I'm not sure if I should. If someone tried many months ago and gave up, it might be an unpleasant surprise if their Bluesky bridged account suddenly reappeared even though they didn't do anything new themselves.

On the other hand, I don't really plan to put a lot of effort into a big formal process or outreach. It'd probably just be filing issues here or emailing feedback@brid.gy.

Important warning: this process will wipe out old bridged posts for accounts that I reactivate manually. They'll get a new Bluesky account and DID.

@englut want me to reactivate https://mastodon.social/@quaff 's Bluesky bridged account?

[englut]

I think that's a good approach. Best to not put too much effort into it, cause you never know people's intentions after so much time with things like this.

@englut want me to reactivate https://mastodon.social/@quaff 's Bluesky bridged account?

Yes please! 🙏

[snarfed]

Done!

Hi! I think I got my account tombstoned when I blocked the bridge on Fedi a few months ago. Can I ask you to re-enable https://blorbo.social/@dreki, please? 🙏

[snarfed]

@dreki48 sure! I've tried, but https://github.com/snarfed/arroba/issues/34 is making it difficult. I probably need to fix that first.

[killthealias]

May I have https://fiera.social/@riley re-enabled?

[letydoesstuff]

I love all the work being done here, was just messing around with how it all worked a few months ago and ended up tombstoning my account basically Can I please have https://doesstuff.social/@lety re-enabled?

[snarfed]

@killthealias @letydoesstuff done!

[snarfed]

@dreki48 yours should be working now too, https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:kjsytn3xeyblnmnituhda7rr

[snarfed]

I'm working on automating this, should be ready within a day or two. I'll update here when it's ready.

[snarfed]

Done! @vicigrinberg could you un-follow and re-follow @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy and see if that works now?

[vicigrinberg]

This works! Thank you so much, really appreciate this!

Awesome, thanks for confirming!

Hi,

could you please revive/re-bridge lxgr.net on Bluesky and @lxgr@mastodon.net on the Fediverse? They both seem broken at the moment (https://bsky.app/profile/lxgr.mastodon.ap.brid.gy and https://mastodon.social/@lxgr.net@bsky.brid.gy respectively).

I've tried to unfollow and re-follow, but it didn't help.

Thank you!

[snarfed]

Sorry @lxgr! This is probably #1520. We should be caught up again soon!
