A large amount of moderation problems could very easily be solved by a standard KYC process. You can sign up and view content without it, but as soon as you want to post, you need to submit a driver's license or passport. Sure, it's a pain but the benefit is people will become A LOT better behaved. I don't think this is necessary for small community platforms but for something like X/Bluesky/etc it is needed. It is a…

1. Fake IDs. 2. Personal identification data is toxic. (You really don't want to be breached) 3. It's relatively expensive to verify if users don't pay. 4. Lots of people don't have valid IDs, but you still want them as users.

What if you don't have to hold all of the information?

I am not sure bluesky is highly dependent on users at the moment, I think they just want "real" users and not bots

> Furthermore, I would posit that there's a bit of overlap between censorship and moderation -- even excellent moderation -- although I welcome any nuance I'm missing on this topic. You aren't missing anything. Many people have oppositional defiance disorder and have never used an unmoderated forum; they are completely unusable because they're full of spam.

If anyone reads this and thinks "hmm, this sounds like me" -- don't do anything about it! Stay exactly the way you are.

The small group that does has had a major influence on culture at large.

Sure, but that influence has not exactly been positive. That's the catch I think. It's much easier to exert negative influence than positive influence.

Influence is just a tool to effect change upon people at scale.

It’s a tool, it can be used for good or evil. I’ll leave the subjective analysis to others but I think tools are rare just good or bad.

I have a feeling that this is going to create a weird thing of some magnitude where accounts end up on popular blacklists for poor reasons and have no recourse. I’m concerned that in time it might develop into zealous communities of samethink where you have to mind any slightly dissenting opinion or you’ll get blacklisted. I think what I’m thinking about is essentially that judges cannot be replaced by community opin…

This is just complaining about the free speech of others though. A moderation list isn't anything more then an opinion. That's the thing: no one is obligated to not create an echo chamber if they want to be in one.

But isn't free speech is when" others are forced to listen to me* without me seeing their trash takes? /s

Facebook has infamously failed to solve their moderation problems with their real name policy - why do you think it would work any better for bsky?

I'm sorry you had to go through such a horrible experience @EndWokeness, but you could have stated an actual biological fact by posting "There are only two sexes", even if there are corner cases.

This week I've started to see new users that post flamebait, gore, or even child porn in BlueSky. These get banned quickly, but I can't fathom what's the psychological necessity of people like you following the "wokes" to a new platform when they just left X to be out of your way.

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

Googling it gives the expected child porn definition as the first result. It's not a scarlet letter in your Google profile to google CSAM, there are plenty of legitimate reasons to be familiar with the term.
