My understanding of that situation was that they could either remove that content from being accessible on Bluesky (the client) or have the site blocked entirely.
They landed on country-specific moderation, which is all publicly accessible and documented, allowing countries to label specific posts/contents and have them hidden in the country. Again, this is only on the Bluesky client; other clients can ignore the 'hide' label if they choose.
This is an article that details it pretty well and links to a few tools that allow you to view everything hidden by any country moderation team: https://fediversereport.com/bluesky-censorship-and-country-based-moderation/ https://fediversereport.com/bluesky-censorship-and-country-b...
- senderista 1y agoWhat are these "other clients"?
- steveklabnik 1y agoYou have pure clients like https://deck.blue/ https://deck.blue/ And then "soft forks" like https://deer.social/ https://deer.social/
- the_gipsy 1y agoAm I supposed to type my bluesky password into some random website? Why would there be no 2FA options, like when using https://element.io https://element.io for a homeserver?
- steveklabnik 1y agoYou make an "app password" which is basically an API token. They've recently added OAuth, but since it's pretty new, a lot of older projects haven't moved over yet. 2FA exists but only for emails right now, more to come. https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app/issues/1071 https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app/issues/1071
- the_gipsy 1y agoOkay that makes sense, thanks! And yea, I meant OAuth, 2FA has really nothing to do.
- juped 1y agoSo have the site blocked entirely. Let censorious despots build their own great firewalls.
