Interesting conversation regarding #Bluesky's platforming of JD Vance. Some are saying that because of Bluesky's composable moderation and blocklists, users are able to effectively isolate themselves from this account and that this is an adequate systemic defense. Others point out that joining a blocklist is still an affirmative 'opt-out' measure and that allowing the account by default is problematic. Also, it's been mentioned that who you block is public info on Bluesky. Any thoughts?

in reply to Mastodon Migration • • •JD Vance is a shitty, disingenuous person, but do his posts break the rules of the platform? I wouldn't have him but Bluesky is a public platform and JD Vance is the vice president of the US, and well within his rights to wage culture war if the platform allows it.
Bluesky doesn't really have the freedom to extraordinary moderate such a case I don't think, but then again I don't use it.
