Towards Sustainable Moderation for 3rd Party ATProto Development

I had the chance to chat with Ronen and Wesley from semble.so at the ATProto Boston meetup last week. They mentioned to me that a topic of discussion among non-Bluesky ATProto developers in Montreal was a growing recognition that they would need to start doing moderation on their services sooner rather than later. I was very quickly able to demonstrate that labeling third party lexicons was fairly simple. That said, I think tooling is the easy part—between larger organizations like Roost and Z...

The AT network is becoming more heterogeneous in practice, with independent PDS hosts, apps, and alternative bsky AppViews establishing themselves. This means that more complex inter-service moderation scenarios are starting to get attention. While the labeling system was released all the way back i...

Trust and Faith in Our Web

I’m not Brennan, but I’m very interested in decentralization and a fan of AtProto specifically, so I’d like to weigh in. First I should mention I’ve personally never been able to get into microblogging, so I haven’t touched bluesky myself, despite having an account for ATProto reasons. But I agree it’s concerning that the company chooses to continue to host the content of harmful individuals and calling that act “neutral”. I’m certainly against the idea of the “marketplace of ideas” as it’s cle...
