Hi!

When opting-out by blocking @bsky.brid.gy on the Fediverse, or @ap.brid.gy on Bluesky, the associated bridged profile is not deleted on the other network.

For example:

Thank you!

Hey, sorry for the trouble! Looks like your accounts both got caught by one of our spam filters: we currently require a profile picture, https://fed.brid.gy/docs#troubleshooting . The result is awkward right now though: it does the bare minimum to create your initial profile, but nothing beyond that, including blocking to disable. Obviously not ideal.

#758 is part of the answer here, but also we should apply the spam filters earlier and not create bridged profiles at all. Hope you're ok if I track that in this issue?

(I'm adding the safety label here because, while not severe, the effect can still cause misunderstandings if others find the account.)
