It notes that Bluesky users will be able to participate in the global conversation, instead of the one dictated by the community they join, as aspects of how your experience differs from others is in your control thanks to other features, like custom feeds and composable moderation. The latter means moderation is not tied to your server. While server operators can set rules around the content they host, communities can use blocklists and soon, independent moderation services, to introduce additional layers of moderation. That means there’s not as much pressure on server operaters to block other servers (defederate) because of the content they host, since users will have their own tools to manage their moderation preferences.

This is a nice bit of tech.

So... I guess the big brains that gave us Twitter reasoned that people randomly join communities where they don't agree with the rules? This argument makes zero sense.

It seems like a nice way to say "Bluesky moderates everything, so we get to curate your feed!"

Pretty much, right? Ugh, algorithms!
