No-one’s come up with an obviously-correct, completed, broad-appeal social network design so far. Twitter’s approach worked to some extent, for a little while, but is clearly now utterly broken. Anyone who’s ever spent any time on an internet forum (broadly defined) knows that there has to be some kind of moderation. Personally, I’m simply not going to be using a social network where I’m subjected to routine transphobia – not because I don’t want to “hear both sides” but because I already have the firmest possible position against it and I don’t need to hear any more. Maybe a general solution doesn’t exist, but I applaud Bluesky for giving this a go.
