People flocking to a decentralized platform learn a hard lesson that lack of censorship means they’re going to hear things they dislike and there’s no groupthink committee they can whine to that can deplatform the “mean words sayer”.

Jay (the CEO) responded to requests for banning an alleged racist (Nazi?) users. And then Jay and Bluesky became the topic with everyone become a content moderation expert.

send screenshots, what is the drama about?

Indeed they just shipped custom feed feature that implement a feed and share with users. It should be fairly easy to create a feed of users who are also Farcaster users.

Agreed, Farcaster feels really calm and peaceful in comparison. The feed on bsky seems dominated by beefing between “main character” types. 

I wonder if there are any custom feeds and/or mute/block strategies that can recreate the FC feeling over on bsky? Probably too early for that.
