    In many ways, issues of moderation (even basic ones) are way worst on Bluesky than on the fediverse, yes, for the simple reason that fediverse is powered by people, Bluesky has millions in store to treat itself with a proper T&S team and it choose not to. Repeatedly.

    I don’t care which books you burn, but if you’re going to hurn religious holy books, I say, burn them all. Not just the one’s that aren’t your religion, take one of each and burn them equally. They all suck equally. Each one of them are used to control humans in one way or the other. #coercion
