Today, we’re excited to announce that we’re open-sourcing Ozone, our collaborative moderation tool. With Ozone, individuals and teams can work together to review and label content across the network. Later this week, we’re opening up the ability for you to run your own independent moderation services, seamlessly integrated into the Bluesky app
Reading “at Bluesky” in every second sentence gave me futuristic dystopian movie vibes.
Not sure about fediverse following along given that, essentially, creating an account on a server is adopting the server admin’s moderation policy.
Having said that, there might be some value in being able to overlay multiple moderation filters - though not sure at what point you create such a siloed experience as to be a net negative.
Bluesky is now a federated network, just incompatible with ActivityPub.
I’d say the beauty is you’re open to silo yourself off as much or as little as you want. As long as the actual blue sky team doesn’t go too crazy with their own moderation I think it creates a healthy community
They sure are moving in a faster pace.
They have millions in funding, they will always move at a faster pace. The question is in which direction they will move, I suppose.
Bluesky finally allows the community to run their own labeller services. This blog post summarize how bluesky federation system works and how the labeler service fit in.
