Made a post on Bluesky about moderation problems on Bluesky. Got this reply. My gut response is okay, weird offtopic reply. Then I thought about it and was like, wait, I don't know enough about the referenced philosophy to know if this makes sense, it might actually be relevant. Then I thought about it some more and was like wait, is it actually the case bluesky is fundamentally anarcholibertarian while Mastodon is fundamentally anarchosyndicalist…? Instances as reification of interest groups?
@mcc mastodon and the fediverse more broadly is extremely authoritarian imo. Instance admins are little dictators who get to control what information that "their" users see.
@ch0ccyra1n @mcc Except their users just move. Mastodon (rather the fedi) is a mix of all kinds of models that heavily incentivizes the shit ones dying out.
@ch0ccyra1n @dalias @mcc I view instance Admins more as community members taking on the roles of bouncer and bar tender at the punk bar. There is room for improvement on community feed back and inclusion on decision making. And abuse is possible more antiabuse functions should be added to further prevent it, but I'm happy there is someone to kick that first I'm a nice Nazi out. And keep the beer tap working.
