@benroyceBen Royce 🇺🇦 as if we don't outsource moderation on the fediverse already? How many times have blocklists been inaccurate? We've had these very issues too.
And just because you don't see it, doesn't mean that there's not like 99% of Bluesky's moderation actually working correctly and quietly behind the scenes. You tend to see the 1% that it doesn't produce great outcomes.
We've also seen that in the fediverse too.
#moderation is a shit job. always was, always will be. it's a human problem, no tech can dispel the chore. someone always has to be there, moderating
of course tooling can help immensely. the tooling shifts and manages the chore. that shift can be in good ways. also maybe unintentional bad ways
you know all this
i'm just laying it out so i can say:
on #bluesky, and on #mastodon, as you say, #blocklists create new terrible problems
i'm saying this tooling shift is a bad idea
