You can't have a community without moderation and you can't have moderation without upholding some norms so yeah there will always be some norms. If you think there can be some single global conversation that specifically caters to your norms then I hope you understand you're out of luck? > The Bluesky PDS has authority over you, and then if you switch to another PDS the Bluesky PDS still has authority over you because they can still decide not to show your posts to mainline Bluesky people. I don't use bluesky but I heard you can run your own PDS. Those who can't will have to trust someone. Like you can build your own phone from scratch but if you can't you have to trust someone to build it. You won't make the trust problem go away by inventing more and more intricate systems...
