> The service can be totally excluded lol yeah, I'm sure a ton of normal people are going to dig around in your opaque configuration files to disable your centralized moderation. That it can be excluded is irrelevant. It’s as centralized as BlueSky at that point, it doesn’t matter if theoretically someone can turn the censorship off. It’s a centralizing backdoor that allows you to effectively ban people from 99.99% of the network except a fringe subset of users who are actually willing to change default settings. Basically nobody.
