This is entirely by design:
> Moderation on Bluesky is not tied to your server, like it is on Mastodon. Defederation, a way of addressing moderation issues in Mastodon by disconnecting servers, is not as relevant on Bluesky because there are other layers to the system. Server operators can set rules for what content they will host, but tools like blocklists and moderation services are what help communities self-organize around moderation preferences. We’ve already integrated block and mute lists, and the tooling for independent moderation services is coming soon.
The whole point is to decentralize moderation so that users aren't stuck with only the moderation provided by their host.
Decentralized moderation and the tools needed to support it are not solved problems but are instead ongoing projects. Block and mute lists clearly won't be sufficient to enable robust decentralized moderation so it will he interesting to see how support for third party content filters get implemented.
