Bluesky is making moderation changes, including the addition of new reporting categories, strikes, and more clarity when communicating with users about violations.
Gotta make the right wingers feel safe enough to harras everyone else…
The company doesn’t want to be known as just a leftist or liberal version of Twitter; it wants to be a home where many different communities can build out their networks and thrive, without the problems of a centralized social network. However, much of the community that adopted Bluesky did so as they no longer felt represented on Twitter/X, which became more right-leaning under new owner Elon Musk.
If they’re banning people from all of Bluesky for a post, it’s centralized. I don’t know why they keep saying they’re decentralized.
It’s purely marketing and I wish it would stop getting repeated. BlueSky is centralized and a for-profit company.
