I’ve seen BlueSky referred to as BS (as in Blue Sky, but you know…), which seems apt.

CEO is a cryptocurrency fool, as is Jack Dorsey, so I don’t expect much from it. Then again I’m old and refuse to join any new hotness so take my curmudgeonly opinions with a grain of salt.

I read somewhere or another that the “decentralization” is only going to be there so that they can push content moderation onto users. They will happily welcome Nazis and fascists, leaving it up to end users to block those instances.

I wonder how they plan to handle the 4chan-level stuff, since that will surely come.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I’m on BlueSky. This isn’t the case. Such accounts were banned within 7 minutes of reporting them. Federation is their top priority right now - it was just delayed by the sudden influx of users, which caused them to have to focus much more strongly on moderation.
