Bluesky is an opportunity to “bring in more physics”, designing in friction on the protocol-level as a proactive way to avoid downstream moderation issues. …we highlight the importance of allowing users to freely “plug in” a moderation filter so that users can see what the resulting content looks like before committing to it. This should include asking ourselves: - Is the team designing the protocol and assessing proposals representative of the people who are most hurt/marginalized by these technologies? - Are the initial clients of the protocol diverse? This shouldn’t be another case of US-based initial clients and the rest of the world follows.
