Bluesky is currently in a very tricky situation that may change it forever, solely because they have retained the power to moderate, and naturally, people are asking for moderation.

I sincerely hope they make the right decision but it's going to bea very tough tho.

They have created a "reputation system" to make Bluesky a "happier place". They should definitely compare Nostr and Bluesky vibes right now.

That takes be back to the old forum days. Reps and negs lol

not very difficult to make bs a happier place ... so much misery there, they can bottle it 🤣🤣

Always a mistake to create something that’s centralized and figure, no worries, we’ll decentralize it later. It reminds me of Roger’s thought process: that he and Jihan could take control of BCH, turn it into PayPal so they could steer it properly, then magically decentralize it at some unspecified time in the future.

That was my understanding / interpretation of what they were trying to do, in any case. I could be remembering things incorrectly. But the lesson: always be super wary of any project that passes up an opportunity to decentralize today with the promise to do it tomorrow.

Any details on this situation?

What’s the situation?

Creating systems to moderate trolls introduces entertainment for the trolls. It's fun to try beating the system. Fuck the system.

Jack will build moderation into Damus if he had his way
