Still, using Bluesky feels familiar and intuitive. It's a straightforward app on the surface, but under the hood, we have enabled real innovation and competition in social media by building a new kind of open network.
This is huge. Community notes will draw a tonne of people. Once you have private messages done, I think working in multi-user accessible profile for brands and businesses would bring a lot more over. Then businesses could link staff or mods to help run them. It'd be good for accessibility too 🤘
You know @safety.bsky.app a simple tried & true method for adding safety to social network accounts that has been in use for over a decade is Private Accounts. Every other social platform has this feature with newer services implementing at launch. It would be a really nice feature to have here.
overall excited about this development, but I've had a question continuously raised in my mind: if users are able to opt out of moderation defaults, build their own servers, etc. what happens with content that should definitively not be ANYwhere (CSAM, explicit hate speech, etc.)?
What's the point of having reporting options for spam, trolling, and harassment when you don't moderate it? There are accounts that violate these 24/7, all have been reported and no action is ever taken! #Twitter2.0
