A Friday blog post details the Bluesky team's moderation proposals for “a shared public commons,” using things like lists, hashtags, and even “per-thread” tools that would give moderation power to each poster. The latter treats threads like a mini-forum: if you don’t like a reply, you can yeet that skeet (or just hide it). The post acknowledges why this might be problematic: Along with algorithms, hands-off moderation fits right into Jack Dorsey’s original concept for decentralized social media.

    I hadn’t realized that they had a dev server up. https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds

    I may need to take a shot at standing up a server. A bunch of my IRL friends can’t be convinced to jump to Mastodon, but they’re champing at the bit to get an invite to Bluesky. That said, maybe I’ll wait until federation outside of the dev sandbox is a reality.
