Wouldn’t a social graph solve these issues? You see content from people you follow and the people they follow. If you don’t like something, click to see which connection it’s coming from and unfollow. Global doesn’t even need to exist in a sense that anyone can see everything there is to see. Make people follow a few people in on onboarding - I believe that is what Twitter did. Probably to solve the same problem?

I was thinking the same...what you see in your feed is your choice. You can control it. You are your own algo. Having said that I think what @@rabble maybe referring in context of bluesky is broader moderation of bad/illegal posts. On Nostr relays can apply their own rules for filtering - but again that is very different model from bluesky - Nostr is much more decentralized.
I mean I agree that’s part of it. That’s why we designed #[3]​ to rely so much on the social graph. I think there is a space for content warnings and reports and then a vetting and response to those reports. Be that a relay operator or group of users. Then I could choose to use a moderation list but that’s my choice. Relays could choose what they’ll host. The assumption amongst many bluesky users is that the company making the protocol will be able to provide a trust and safety regime similar to a centralized platform.
It's not really about Bluesky users seeing accounts they don't like when joining. It's more that one person finds someone they don't like and then essentially brigade with demands to have them banned. And it has happened already with admin/mods giving in.
Will nos social solely be using this 'social graph' method? Or will it also do a bit of moderation? Maybe it seems to me like Nostr sort of needs a transparency of clients's (and relays?) political views lol. Where does my client stand on topic x. I don't want them to censor me. Or is this off? I'm very likely wrong cos I don't know anything
