I’ll be honest. I really liked the BlueSky idea and was an early adopter. But I deleted the app last week when you announced your Trust & Safety team, or at least hired a new leader for it.

In my mind (and many other people), “Trust and Safety” is a synonym for censorship.

We live in a time where censorship is becoming a huge risk to freedom. A free society needs to be able to debate, and anyone or anything that decides that it has the wisdom to set limits about what people can discuss, is a threat to freedom.

I had hope that BlueSky was choosing a different path but now I guess not.

If I understood the article correctly, you can get a feed that isn't moderated by their team. So I'm not sure what your complaint is? That other people can get moderation if they choose to?
