For fediverse instances where you have at least one follower - fed.brid.gy/docs#looking... - it should generally be pretty immediate, seconds to a minute or two at most.

"...geoengineering’s economics are almost the exact opposite of climate change’s: While global warming is a “free rider” problem, where countries must collaborate to avoid burning cheap fossil fuels, solar geoengineering is a “free driver” problem, where one country could theoretically do it alone."
Exclusive: Stardust Solutions Raises $60 Million to Build a Solar Geoengineering System by 2030
A U.S. firm led by former Israeli government physicists, Stardust seeks to patent its proprietary sunlight-scattering particle — but it won’t deploy its technology until global governments authorize s...

BF itself seems to be bridging the new account ok, fed.brid.gy/bsky/ducky.ws , I'm seeing your new posts on instances where you have followers, eg mas.to. but I wouldn't be surprised if some instances are still confused. they *shouldn't* be - they should index on AP id, not webfinger address - but 🤷

if it helps, Bridgy Fed's AP actors for bridged Bluesky accounts are based on their DIDs, not their handles. eg your new account's actor id is bsky.brid.gy/ap/did:web:d... . when that new account got bridged, it claimed to have the same webfinger address (@ducky.ws@bsky.brid.gy) as your old account

instances that haven't refreshed the profile yet, eg yeen.town and woof.group, show the old one
October 31, 2025 at 7:02 PM
in this case, this looks like the usual fediverse inconsistency w/cached profiles and data. instances that either hadn't seen the old account, or have refreshed since you switched the domain to the new account - eg mastodon.social, mastodon.is-hardly.online, indieweb.social - show the right profile
October 31, 2025 at 7:02 PM
so, moving a username (@ducky.ws@bsky.brid.gy) from one fediverse actor to a different actor is unusual, and the fediverse doesn't handle it well yet. it's much better than it used to be - mastodon used to ignore when remote actors changed their usernames *at all* - but we still have a ways to go

Absolutely right. @michaelpachter.bsky.social has been banging this drum for years. Prices for games have increased way less over the last few decades than other entertainment/media, and also way less than their cost of production. Not ok.
Are video games really more expensive?
In general, we like to think we know how much something is worth. The decision is based less on logic and more on emoti…

@noelransome.bsky.social looking at WALL-E screenshots led me to this old article of yours, it's a banger. So so true. One of the most jarring movies I've ever seen, the first section is so incredibly good, the rest is so drastically different, so much more prosaic and forgettable. Hard to watch.

Ten years later, here's why 'Wall-E' was so special.

(If this vibe grabs you too, I wholeheartedly recommend the short story "Coding Machines" by Lawrence Kesteloot. I re-read it every few years, and it throws me for a loop every time.)

Can you think of other examples?

There are obvious conclusions here about maintainability, ecosystem security, etc, but I'm not here to lecture, I have no particular conclusions. It's just a vibe.

It's a very, very...mad world.
