bluesky are hilariously evil as a company. rationalist vibecamp crypto bro dipshits with nazi pals. their USERBASE, however, is awesome. i expect the company is wondering how the hell they deal with being the land of queer shitposters who bully people like Ian Dunt off.
@davidgerard There’s also the disconnect between how they are trying to promote themselves (as federated, although they aren’t, so they can wash their hands of managing moderation) and what their user base actually wants (a centrally managed and moderated platform).
They kind of got pressured into actually hiring and fielding moderators, despite their best efforts.
