> Ah yup. Mass moderation, aka silencing dissenting voices.
Bluesky moderation is primarily based around labeling and blocklists; that is, people _choosing_ to either be warned of content, or simply not see it. For instance, I use a moderation service which places a label on any posts from users which use AI imagery (because it’s a bad sign; most such users are some form of scam), and subscribe to a blocklist which outright blocks transphobes (because life is too short to listen to their one joke that they’ve been making for the past 25 years). This is all consensual. But, like, if you _want_ to see this stuff, just… don’t use the third-party moderation tools.
