That's one reason why Bluesky has gained a lot of traction. All of this is under the surface, not something you need to care about unless you want to.

- verdverm 1y agoI would contend not all of it is under the surface The Bsky team regularly highlights other apps, custom feeds, and moderation choice
- steveklabnik 1y agoThe important part is that you don't need to know about any of this to use the service. Of course, the protocol enables user-level features.
- extraduder_ire 1y agoYou don't need to know how any of those features or websites work to use them. I'd also argue that most users have no idea who the people working on the site are. (even if reading the replies under their personal posts gives a different impression) The end user just sees they can subscribe to a moderation list that hides any post labelled as "Beans", or that they can have a feed next to their Discover feed that's an endless stream of people getting ligma'd. Or that they can use their account to log into a seemingly unrelated site.
