“ Excessive moderation is a barrier to open and robust debate, ultimately undermining the diversity of perspectives that make meaningful discourse possible. Supressing dissenting opinions will lead to an echo chamber effect. Would you like to join me an upcoming campaign to restore Europe? Deus vult!”

ah social media, some people are truly as dumb as rocks

Not to mention all the people extremely confused over what "CSAM" is seemingly without having the ability to google it.

Due to how easy it is to setup accounts and post on Bluesky, it’s likely many of the same operatives behind the propaganda and bot armies on Twitter are now pushing the same vitriolic content, and triggering these reports. If they can negatively impact Bluesky at a critical moment, it’ll reduce the flow of users who will quickly surmise “oh this is just like twitter”

How would they make it harder / reduce bots without sacrificing privacy (such as SMS/ID verification/etc.)?

I think if you can realistically solve that you'd be a millionaire already.

Moderation is orthogonal to free speech. They are separate concerns.

How does that make any sense? More moderation clearly means speech is less free, in that you are blocking some of it (whether for good reason or not)

I don’t think you realistically can. I’d instead approach it from limiting the reach of new accounts until proven as good actors.

Or switch it back to invite only, as there’s a massive userbase now, and if you invite a problematic account it becomes a problem for your account too. Operate on a vouch system.
