moderation provider is something I should add to my guides app record lexicon. someone bully me into finishing that stupid project.

looking back at all that happened in the last month and how some key communication has changed, i'm increasingly convinced that this is the case

Seize the means of distribution. All other forms of power are secondary

In the most frustrating moments, no matter what is happening, never become radicalized against people. Become radicalized against the problem domain. Hate the sin, hate the conditions that made sinners out of us, but love people.

not only the investors

worth noting, but doesn’t answer the full moderation question: the bsky mushrooms are checked for clearly illegal content on all lexicons, not only the app.bsky ones.
iirc paul confirmed this in a thread some time ago.

Creating an Independent Public Ledger of Credentials (PLC) Directory Organization | Bluesky The Bluesky Social app is built on an open network protocol that refers to each user by a unique Decentralized Identifier, or DID (a W3C standard). The most popular supported DID method was developed ...

for almost all the pieces of the stack there is a third party run alternative and even alternative implementations. the most centralised part currently is still the identity ledger, the plc. alternatives are in the works and the bsky run one is being transferred to a neutral swiss entity:

everything needed is open source, can be combined in steps to reach more functionality and can be run for reasonable prices. data storage with a complete network backfill is ofc still a hassle, but not strictly needed. but the big selling point is to interoperate, instead of building echo chambers.

@protopro.blue is currently in closed beta. and yeah, you could replicate pretty much any social network. there are multiple TikTok style apps, a twitch clone, blog publications, social coding and the list goes on. more interesting: what can we build that you couldnt outside of at?

der post im screenshot wurde mit kontext atproto und bsky, nicht ai, abgesetzt. das ist ein allgemeines themenübergreifendes problem das ich in letzter zeit beobachte.

the screenshotted post is still online btw

i reported some shit today that was so vile… like, take a 15 minute smoke break and stare at the night sky in silence afterwards bad…

the current anti-tech sentiment is spiraling into something incredibly bad.

for fuck's sake, no, bsky is not selectively moderating against trans people, if anything, some people have done a lot of behaviour that according to the letter of the rules would result in permabans, and yet they're getting 24h strikes and being let back on because of community pressure.

take a scroll through the list of accounts followed by @atproto.guide. mostly projects, but also some devs in there.

the mask is already slipping. and it’s not only about the tech itself anymore.

mate, this is an unrelated joke from a day before the discourse started. besides your bonkers claims, you are literally doing the waffles bit.

that doesn’t sound like a healthy and useful habit

Got bad news: woke up to several different messages explaining how there are no atproto services other than Bluesky! We regret to inform you that Streamplace seems to have retrocausally never even ever existed. Our top chronomancers are on the case.

this one is my favorite. what’s your preferred way of finding calm and recentering yourself?

well that’s rude for no good reason.
enjoy your ingroup signaling and consider using stackable moderation options like blocklists, labelers or tools like @orbitallaser.bsky.social. 👋

as someone researching decentralized systems and building on the protocol, i keep a very close watch and have done so for a long time. i honestly don’t agree with everything bsky does, but most of it. lots of nuances here. please accept that we can come to different conclusions.

there are false positives happening ofc, but the piss posters that did get a timeout that wasn’t lifted got it for actual calls to violence. people scraped the posts and there was an article showing the evidence for that.
just observing the feeds on the day made clear that the rips weren’t targeted

just one more mail and bsky will die for real bro. just speak to one more manager and we will own this place.
