I like the architecture of bluesky a lot but it doesn't fulfill its promise until third-parties go through the trouble of hosting relays and appviews so that people whose opinion the first party admins finds objectionable could still communicate.
- rsynnott 2y ago> Accounts posting squarely legal content are removed by the site administrators because the community demands that they not have to deal with 'nazis and bigots' I'm not sure that that is true. I subscribe to a blocklist of transphobes, which has literally thousands of people on it. I suspect that libsoftiktok et al were getting performatively banned by putting bigoted content in their _profiles_, which _are_ somewhat heavily moderated. (Though, actually, that libsoftiktok arsehole does sometimes sic her followers on named people, which is verboten, so maybe it was that.)
- jazzyjackson 2y agoHm, fair, thanks for the counterpoint. I do think the people who got kicked got kicked because they were coming with the intent to troll and harass, but the fact that the site admins intervene in these cases is evidence that they don't have confidence in the community moderation tools so far, and theyre still curating access, which is fine, it's just not very distributed of them.
