No doubt. I never did join bluesky because it was pretty doomed from the beginning. https://bsky.social/about/support/community-guidelines https://bsky.social/

  Not sure what your specific complaint is, but I see the labelling as one of the worst ideas of all time. If I was that kind of person I could be a one man Kiwi Farms with my classifier models, I could pick out any kind of person I want to harass and put labels on their posts in a few seconds. Meanwhile people who are using the system honestly will take much much longer to put labels on things and even people who subscribe to the labels will see a lot of that. You can suppress posts in three places: (1) the source (I get tilted sometimes, if my agent asked me “are you sure?” I’d avoid writing the occasional thing I wish I hadn’t), (2) the receiver and (3) the network. (3) is by far the most effective as it directly stops viral spread and might ultimately change the culture so less toxic stuff gets posted (not least because you see fewer examples of it that normalize the behavior.). Of course it is a lot more fraught than (2). The thing with an absolutist perspective is that it some kinds of speech will poison the pool for other people and thus (indirectly) suppress other kinds of speech. Even if you think “free speech” is the highest value, there is still a trade-off between one person’s speech and another.
