@Blaze What do you mean by "doesn't allow you to do so"? Instance can block bridge domain and it will not be federated

How is it different from the rest of instances?

I was referring to the

Put the text #nobridge in your profile bio, refresh your profile on your user page, and Bridgy Fed will stop bridging your account. Or feel free to send me a request privately.

Seems like defederation is not enough in this case, as it's not mentioned as a way to opt-out.

That's user level changes. You can still defed from the bridge. It actually makes this whole situation even more ridiculous. If you don't agree with who your instance federates with you fucking leave.
