Does not make me sad he’s gone, tbh.

    One of the things he takes offence about is that Bluesy has moderation.

    He should know that moderation is needed to be useable by nearly anyone.

      I hope he realizes that having moderation isn’t a choice social media websites get to make anymore. That’s Apple and Google’s choice now. Why? Because in order to have literally any userbase at all nowadays, you have to have an app. Websites barely get used in comparison to phone apps. And if you don’t bother moderating your website and let people send things like racial slurs and child porn unabated, you get kicked off the app stores by Apple and Google. Not to mention that payment companies don’t like those things either.

        That situation (apple and Google as sole gatekeepers) is fucked up and should change with the new eu open markets legislation.

            Actually, kbin itself is mostly spam lately

            Yes. People over there should probably move to Mbin instances

      I don’t know if he’s been taken out of context, but bluesky is supposed to have opt-out moderation, and the ability to opt-in to multiple moderation servers (a little like adlists in ublock et al), which doesn’t seem like a terrible idea, but it sounds like they’ve gone further and completely removed stuff, because in reality it isn’t decentralised at all.

          you can’t opt out of bsky’s own moderation if you want to use bluesky pbllc’s infrastructure

          As a member of some unmod groups back in the early internet I can’t but concur

          It can be safely done with very small, or very cool, groups of folks, but not on the open internet.
