wow what a brave hot take im bookmarking this one

i support bluesky's mission but i disagree with their chosen path bc they are pushing the most critical stuff to "later" and that adds more uncertainties

yeah all which use private endpoints it's just silly that Nostr ecosystem is already doing all the same things, is farther along, actually open protocol etc. and bluesky chose to go separate ways instead of making itself a moderation layer/ feed algo / verification system for Nostr network

unfortunetaly bluesky hasn't demonstrated any of these yet i'm not losing my shit until i see these take off with an open network i'm very unimpressed with bluesky owning all our private keys still

i'd like at least one please

yeah it's a good idea will def get messy in practice so the sooner they start the better. ultimately the best is being able to pick anyone's labelling systems both for accounts & posts, not just Bluesky's. as in i hope it gets baked into protocol not just app

block is wrong word here, i'm more interested in "hide all activity by this user"

ultimately Bluesky should *never* be able to decide that @berduck.deepfates.com should be banned or hidden however, Bluesky should be able to suggest a curated block list which the users can optionally subscribe to, and any subscriber would not see Berduck anymore

block/ignore lists can also be shared around by relays the same way e-mail servers share spammer lists around (most email users aren't aware of the behind-the-scenes stuff) these reputation/block/recommend etc. features should always be opt-in for the end user. optionality is key

it's clear that the path forward is a censorship-free distribution mechanism with heavily moderated/curated frontends theoretically once bluesky has its own moderation/curation stuff in place, it should be OK for all of twitter to broadcast on AT even
