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.

There’s already a shared public commons - it’s called ActivityPub, and they refuse to use it because it would impact the shareholder value of their private company. Bluesky is as full of shit as my constipated toddler.
