Can you explain more about how moderation is first class? The protocol overview [0] mentions moderation only once, in a section titled "Speech, reach, and moderation," and it seems like moderation is punted off to third-party aggregators: "The Indexing services then enable reach by aggregating content from the network, analogous to a search engine."

- moojd 4y agoAfter looking at it some more 'first-class' is overselling it. I'm still working my way through the code but I believe pretty much all interaction with bluesky/atproto by a user would be via federated instances like mastodon that can moderate as they see fit. The instances have final say in what you are allowed to do. The difference being you have a public key identity that is decoupled from a single instance. @moojd.blsky.app and @moojd.example.com can both be aliases to the same pubkey identity and if blsky.app is down my content will still sync with example.com.
