A Friday blog post details the Bluesky team’s moderation proposals for “a shared public commons,” using things like lists, hashtags, and even “per-thread” tools that would give moderation power to each poster. The latter treats threads like a mini-forum: if you don’t like a reply, you can yeet that skeet (or just hide it). The post acknowledges why this might be problematic: Along with algorithms, hands-off moderation fits right into Jack Dorsey’s original concept for decentralized social media.
“decentralized” except that they’re keeping the core software proprietary and the main site in closed beta. Seems more like they’re using that as a buzz word to compete with mastadon than actually committing to open software.
Aside from meta, we should probably be keeping an eye on these guys for an Em/Ex/Extinguish imo
