The Moderators’ Trilemma by Alan Rozenshtein: Running a platform with a large and diverse user base; Attempting to use a centralized, top-down content moderation policies; Avoid angering their users. These three goals can’t all be met.

honestly something smells at Bluesky. Isn‘t the entire point of their architecture too that you can exit away from a faulty moderation system? So why is there drama? Because people cannot credibly fork away. It‘s a centralized server. So people have to resort to begging and bickering. FC and Kiwi are better

Imo, I don’t think not having federation now is the issue. They indeed have the code almost ready but withholding it to ship T&S tools first. And some users have plainly expressed they don’t care about federation if it means they can’t deplatform the “Nazi”.

What is said here is: „Either our tribe can enforce our beliefs or nothing.“ And also: „pure freedom of speech is fascism.“ Exactly why I deleted my account. They don‘t get it. A federation would ban those fascists on their instance and move on with their lives. Their code is open anyways, also for nazis

I think you captured it well. And welcome to today’s American politics.

all this wouldn‘t happen if their platform was 100% credible neutral. Or do we see people fight over Ethereum in that way?
