@dialecticalmusings @jaredwhite@indieweb.social @innocentzero@social.tchncs.de I am currently working on a moderate issue on my instance regarding a reportedly-problematic instance that uses a language I don't speak and involving cultural nuances in a different country that are completely unfamiliar to me. This is, however, quite a rare situation. Normally, I have an easy time because the kinds of moderation issues that come up are ones encountered by people I have a lot of common context with, and that we have explicitly disallowed on our instance. The atproto model described by the blog post - and specifically the Bluesky app/appview - simply cannot have this moderation context. If they have someone join who is hated/feared by trans users for the harm done by their rhetoric - toeing the ToS line but being careful not to cross it - then they "have" to allow that user on. I do not. I can deny them an account on my instance, block their account, block the instance they are on if it is a source of harassment for my users, etc. I am accountable to my users, I owe nothing to them.
