Re: Composable Moderation
#2This seems like a really cool idea.
I’m curious what effects it would have on polarization. I can imagine a world where people subscribe to moderation label sets managed by different political parties or ideological sects where we get back to what is implicit in other social media platforms, but at least here people would have to actively choose to bias the content they receive.

#3Once any website with user generated content becomes big enough, content moderation becomes one of its biggest concern. It’s smart that Blue Sky is invite only for now while they work on the moderation part.
Composable moderation is an interesting concept as the baseline is set by the app, but users/community can create their own moderation rules on top of it.

#4All this talk of user-defined moderation is great, however this is fundamentally incompatible with content that is legal in one jurisdiction, but is illegal in another, and thus must never be served in the first place to users of the second jurisdiction.

I guess you could create a global set of labels specifically for that and make the client apply rules corresponding with the local laws.

#6Does anyone know whether Bluesky has committed to allowing non-US users to share content with each other that's legal under their local laws, but not allowed under US laws? The proposal outlined here seems like it _ought_ to support that use case through federation, but it seems like often platforms have trouble actually following through when it comes to things like fictional child porn or terrorist content, and end up falling back to de facto applying both US and local laws to all their users.
There's some obvious technical difficulties as well, since you probably don't want people to just be able to VPN to their preferred jurisdiction to avoid legal restrictions.

I wonder at what point the difficulty of this sort of problem will become a significant political pressure to homogenize laws worldwide or incentivize new types of international cooperation.

#9There should be a few types of tags, kind of like ACLs and file attributes. Deny tag, Rating tag, Subject tag, Alert tag, Emergency tag, Meta tag, etc...
rate:88/100
subject:spring planting
Tag types could also help limit downloads by processing Emergency first, then Deny tags, then rating tags, etc...

I had a really similar idea I'm working on and this can be solved by federation, and allowing users to move freely between servers. A gicen server could have its own moderation list. If you want to bypass it you'll need to connect to a server in another juridiction.
