I previously assumed Bluesky’s left-wing growth was by complete accident but if you look at their copy, the emphasis on moderation will actually resonate more with folks that lean more authoritarian. Think safe spaces, reddit policing etc.

The majority of their user FAQ is about moderation, custom feeds and blocking accounts. 

Nothing about what it means to own your account, alternative clients, what is “AT Protocol” etc.

also very funny that it’s literally *blue*sky, very on the nose for the simulation imo

When I read this copy, what appeals to me is the idea of being able to control the algorithm behind what I see. I think decentralization is one important ideal but also so is visibility into why you are seeing what you are seeing and sovereignty of not just your account but the algorithm that is serving you content.
