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.
So in Bluesky, the CEO can cancel people they dont like the name of, at the protocol level, can cancel whole domains, whole countries.
I was told there would be decentralization.
