and we are using established practices too.
“The basics of our approach to moderation are well-established practices. We do automated labeling, like centralized social sites, and make service-level admin decisions, like many federated networks.”

it will take awhile to finish building bluesky, so please come back to pass judgement when it is more mature. 🙏

i don’t think the community labeling approach has been tried, with the composability suggested here. if you want a place where the main moderation action is server-level bans taken by mods, you are free to join or run your own mastodon server now.

have you read this post i wrote on composable moderation?
the first layer is automated. the second is manual, i.e. human mods making decisions at the server level. the third is community labeling

it’s hard to make a policy here, we’re just using our best judgement

you will all be able to run your own servers soon, and set your own moderation policies at the server as well as the community level.
but i need it to be calm enough for long enough that we can build out the rest of the system to give people more direct controls.

i do and i have
but i’m sure there will be cases where it looks like they’re engaging in good faith and i won’t know what to do, and everyone will start yelling at me. the moderation policies here are not going to be “ban whoever the loudest group hates”

this made me laugh maniacally
we also are hiring — esp need a Typescript dev to help @dholms.xyz out.
and we’d love help building out community moderation tooling!

naming things is hard.
i coined the term “self-certifying” early on to describe the protocol, and for a minute we thought about calling it SCP (self-certifying protocol) until remembering SCP wiki lol

yes. there’s other ways to deal with even the worst actors. ignore, shun, humorously dismiss, refute. but “bullying” escalates cycles of confrontation that bring out the worst in people. i think bad actors sometimes thrive off the negativity too.
