My decision about whether to try Bluesky depends on what everyone else does. I just want to be where everyone else is, and not be around too many Nazis. My needs are simple.

@mattblaze Same Same. I give it a pretty short time window for them to get their moderation act together.

Most of us are feeling pretty raw and abused by other platforms and I think many of us are on a very short fuse when it comes to dealing with hate speech.

@deviantollam @mattblaze having been tied up in the hellrope over there for the last 10+ hours: they pivoted and delivered what they say are protocol level blocks in a few days. That was a huge t&s thing that stopped a lot of my friends from wanting to be there. So muting accounts, threads, and blocking is there. Beyond that, I think more of the content specific moderation featureset is dependent on their protocol development.

If you aren't sold on their "current state" and/or their ability to deliver on a centralized platform, I'd hold off for a bit. Its not clear yet how they're forcing adherence to the protocol spec at a technical level between servers, so once they federate, it might all burn for a bit.

But because of their EXTREMELY handy domain handles serving as a quasi-authentication, namesquatting isn't nearly as much of an issue, and as long as you're clear you're not there yet on your existing platforms, you should be fine re: impersonation.
