Not sure why above is downvoted. You’re right. Google Trends reveals how much of a flash in the pan Mastodon was post-Twitter: https://imgur.com/a/i2Vq9FR Social media needs to be very simple for the masses to adopt. The elevator pitch needs to be one sentence and must not include the word “server”.

As far as I remember, they called it a Guild in all their developer documentation

One thing I'm curious about here is moderation; you are outsourcing it to Bluesky to a degree, but I assume you'd want a way to remove posts you don't want to reproduce on your blog beyond hoping that Bluesky management bans them?

I made something similar on my blog and had the same question. I decided to show in my blog only the comments that I liked. Therefore transforming the “like” action into an “I approve” action.

But I have few comments. Not sure if is a good solution for people with a lot of comments.

Like Disqus I guess. Hopefully though with the magic incentive alignment about who is the product in a better place.

That said in Wordpress you spend zero devops time, and get comments and decent spam filtering options. You also don't need users to have a social account.

one could run a labeler (moderation service) and be in control of content one sees through Bluesky. custom categories, filtering, account and post labeling, etc.

"hateful comment" or "porn" data will stay on the PDS, but it will just not show up in the comments section

What about those EU anti-hate laws which punish the owner of the website instead, if comments are not filtered? I'm asking of curiosity, when it started I disabled commenting on my web page

If you are looking for proactive filtering, you could leverage the Bluesky moderation labeler, I'm not aware of one focused on EU requirements though. If you are looking for reactive filtering, you may create a small labeler just for you where you can flag just the troublesome posts and then you filter them before the comment page is rendered.

Yeah that was the original name they came up with, and it stuck internally. Makes sense as they need to distinguish the "servers" from the actual servers.

Bluesky isn't anything special though and will disappear soon enough.
