        "text": "Tomorrowland / Walt Disney\n\nPeople regularly ask me whether Bridgy Fed is ready to scale and support more users. It\u2019s a technical question, but their underlying motivation is usually broader: they believe in the social web, and the fediverse(s), and they want them to connect everyone who\u2019s willing, across instances and networks and protocols.\nRight now, the answer is, I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s not a technical thing; as an engineer, that part is catnip for me. I\u2019m ready to roll up my sleeves and dive in. The more difficult part is organizational. Right now, Bridgy Fed is effectively one person\u2019s side project. I love building and running (and funding!) it, and I have no plans to change that. However, it has basically no organization, governance, or institutional structure. It\u2019s just me.\nThat\u2019s ok! At least, as long as it continues to be one person\u2019s side project. It\u2019s growing, though, and people are starting to envision it, and bridges in general, as more important parts of the decentralized social web. Load bearing infrastructure.\n\nStable, reliable infrastructure is hugely valuable. To do it right, you need stable, reliable organizational structure. You need people to dedicate their time and expertise, sustainably. You need funding, and institutional governance, and some amount of transparency.\nRight now, Bridgy Fed mostly doesn\u2019t have those things. It\u2019s one person\u2019s side project.\nThat could change! I\u2019m open to it. I don\u2019t plan to lead that change myself, though. I\u2019ve enjoyed building it in my spare time for many years now, and I have no plans to stop any time soon. It is not my career, though, or my calling, or my life\u2019s work. I\u2019ve spent my last 10+ years in leadership, I\u2019m comfortable with it, but this isn\u2019t where I\u2019m personally looking to do it. For me, Bridgy Fed just a fun, hopefully useful side project. I\u2019ve been between gigs for a bit now, spending a lot of time on it, but that won\u2019t last forever. I expect to take a real job again eventually, and when that happens, I\u2019ll have way less of that time.\n\n  \n    \n  xkcd: Dependency\n\nSo, to anyone hoping Bridgy Fed will become core infrastructure for the social web: that is one possible future! The first thing we\u2019d need is an executive director or CEO, someone who wants to lead its organization, product, and policy. Someone who\u2019d build relationships with groups like IFTAS, the SWF, Bluesky, IndieWeb, and others. Someone who\u2019d own fundraising, if necessary. (Funding isn\u2019t the real problem here, though. I self fund Bridgy Fed right now, and I could expand that to help with staff and other costs.)\nThis wouldn\u2019t be a full time job; I expect it would only take 5-10 hours per week. It wouldn\u2019t necessarily need a dedicated role or standalone organization, either. Bridgy Fed could live comfortably as one of many projects inside a broader group like IFTAS or the SWF, or even a benevolent company like Flipboard or non-profit like Ghost.\nAnother possible future for Bridgy Fed is the glide path it\u2019s on now: one person\u2019s side project. I can keep running it like this for the foreseeable future. Hopefully useful and stable, but definitely not core infrastructure. No real governance or institutional structure.\nIn particular, as one person\u2019s side project, Bridgy Fed would probably remain opt-in in most places. This post is not about opt-in vs opt-out, or any other big policy or product decision, but it is about who makes those decisions, and how they should be made. Regardless of how public or global or searchable a network is, or how much it encourages tools to be opt-out \u2013 like Bluesky does \u2013 making Bridgy Fed opt-out anywhere would set more of an expectation that it\u2019s core infrastructure. As long as it\u2019s just my side project, I can\u2019t satisfy that expectation.\nIf you think Bridgy Fed needs to grow up and be real infrastructure, and you\u2019re interested in possibly leading it as executive director, or adopting it into a bigger organization, or you know somone who might be, that\u2019s a very possible future. Drop me a line, I\u2019d love to talk. In the meantime, when people ask me whether it can scale, or switch to opt-out, or what the long term plan is, I now have something to point them to.
