I don't presume that when I hear terms like "moderation" or "community standards." I think he would have said "Bluesky automatically removes illegal content..." if that were true.

You have to first distinguish between infra moderation and app moderation. Infra is the aggregation layer (the relay and appview). App is the application client.

The application client sets its labelers and filters entirely client side. Our client hardcodes our labeler then lets users choose more. Other clients could choose otherwise.

The infra layer handles illegal content takedowns. We do that, and we try to keep that minimally scoped. Other people can run their own infra which is outside of our control and with its own infra moderation
