Me as well, unless he was geniunely just talking about more tools for users to moderate content themselves. They already do “pre-moderation” behind the scenes so I am skeptical of that. Maybe if they start to take decentralization more seriously and the issues that crop up with that (follower counts, etc) then I would feel more confident. It just looks like its going down the wrong path.

With the current pressures of (1) the current user base believing bluesky is supposed to be a “safe space” and (2) the overall mainstream attention on it - I don’t think they will get back on the right path. But, all we can do is wait and see.
What I do know is that the current user base is in for a wake up call when they find out what an open protocol entails (if it ever does become open).
If notsr would only show the way by letting users choose who they want to moderate their content.
If some nostr users are lazy, they can let others do the moderation for them. Join a mute group and let your fellow mute groups members or leaders contribute mutes?
You moderate your own content here. Will was discussing ways to mute topics the other day as well. Some clients also give you the ability to create lists. And eventually (I hope) there will be content specific relays. I think one option for what you seem to want would to be able to copy other users mute lists. But IMO no one should be able to mute accounts for you, that’s what leads to issues.
Let's not make it a hassle. Let's agree that every generation of users get lazier over time?
We can't expect everyone to behave like an early adopter.
