You can kick bigots off a Bluesky PDS.
But letting everyone label accounts and posts and run feeds of moderation advice is a lot quicker at booting someone from the virtual space than waiting around for someone to come and decide that yes, so-and-so really has broken BigPDSHost policy and shall be deleted. It's also a great way to find who you want to boot.
Right, but it's reactive and on a per user basis.
Exactly, because you are nobody to decide for others what they want and don't want to read.
That's literally how moderation on Bluesky works... You choose the people you want to moderate and curate your feed...
No, delegating it consciously being able to change it every moment is fine.
Like, each user is individually kicked off the PDS in reaction to some bad thing they did? Or labeling is reactive in that it labels bad stuff already posted, and each user has to pick labelers to listen to themselves?
I'm not sure if Bluesky's front-end defaults to using some particular labelers. I know there's some moderation going on for you as soon as you log in, done by someone.
But yes, each user has to choose whose moderation decisions they want to use, and they can't rely on everyone they can see also seeing exactly the same space they themselves are seeing. But I'm not sure it's possible or even desirable to get rid of the requirement/ability to choose your mods. I should be able to be in a community that has mods I trust, and the community chatting to itself and determining that so-and-so is a great mod who we should all listen to, and then all listening to them, sounds like a good idea to me.
Being able to see and talk to people who aren't in the same space I'm in might not be as good?
