MODERATORS
Reading "at Bluesky" in every second sentence gave me futuristic dystopian movie vibes.
Not sure about fediverse following along given that, essentially, creating an account on a server is adopting the server admin's moderation policy.
Having said that, there might be some value in being able to overlay multiple moderation filters - though not sure at what point you create such a siloed experience as to be a net negative.
Bluesky is now a federated network, just incompatible with ActivityPub.
I wouldn't really compare Bluesky to Mastodon. Ultimately, the Bluesky team still has control over what's allowed on the app and what's allowed on the network until third parties launch their own AppViews and relays.
Yeah BlueSky has a lot of control over the network but I wouldn't say that email isn't federated because Google controls a lot of the email network.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that Bluesky released a personal data server implementation openly. But now that they did, it looks like the AT protocol network minimally qualifies as federated.
I'd say the beauty is you're open to silo yourself off as much or as little as you want. As long as the actual blue sky team doesn't go too crazy with their own moderation I think it creates a healthy community
