It's the digital town square! Everyone is empowered to moderate their own feed, except if you say mean things about Charlie Kirk.
It that doesn't make you want to build over here instead, I don't know what will.

In the end, Bluesky serves as another example for decentralization as a technological fetish. It is meaningless babble: neither decentralized in practice, nor offering the kinds of protections the rhetoric promises.
A social network worthy of its name must be grounded in community norms and practices that are negotiated _by_ the community. Anyone who buys into "protocols over platforms" without community governance at its core has been sold a bill of goods.
