I have to say, it’s a shame what Bluesky’s moderation is doing at the moment. For a while they were fine, but in recent months they’ve been super strict on banning accounts.

Especially after they claimed to have been closed (required invites) throughout 2023 to _work on_ moderation, then we see this.

I hope to see more independent PDSs, Relays & AppViews (Relays + AVs are currently more expensive so wouldn’t expect to see they soon, at least by smaller groups of people..) to try and lower the strain on Bluesky themselves, although they still do have control to cut people off - but we are “trusting” them they’ll only ban entire PDSs if the content is illegal.

Let’s see how this goes! I’m hopeful for the future of #atproto still - but any one of these 3 “major” protocols might work.

'only ban ...if illegal'

Illegal where tho? Britain? The US? UAE? Which flavour of illegal would they use? Or would all of them? 🤔

Probably heavily illegal things, not niche things. It seems like it’s gonna be really really certain conditions. Otherwise they’re going against the entire promise, but right now it seems to be a bit of a grey area, and I’m not too sure about how it works. nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 probably knows more.
