Soooo,
what makes BlueSky impressive is composable moderation. As in, you can trivially subscribe to a moderation channel that behaves more like you want.
Assuming the built-in mod team'll go as hard as you want was never gonna work out, but since we can do the above, we can just work around them.

Ahhhh
"A Very British Bigotry" is just one of the classics.
Everything we post here is public. Whether or not someone has an account, they can pull up your posts and screenshot them and attempt to use them to dogpile. That's the nature of this place as a protocol instead of an app.
Again, that's a feature, but it changes the game a bit. Hence, above.
Which, critically, bsky mods won't be able to do much about. They don't "own" the account then.
Hence, again: modlists.
Here, that'll probably eventually happen too, but in the near term, modlists functionally do the same.
So ya gotta stop thinking of this place like Twitter. Different fights, different tools.
uh, I actively moderate https://peoplemaking.games (Mastodon didn't go anywhere), I modded SomethingAwful Games forum for 8 years, etc.
Yes I know running moderation lists is a thankless task for volunteers. Because I am one.
shaming and shining a spotlight on bad behavior and stupid ideas is how it is eliminated
internet users need to fully understand the terms "troll", "rage bait", and "bad faith argument" (among many more)
