Bluesky’s having a bit of a moderation crisis, which got me thinking about the ways in which the major Twitter clones approach moderation:

#Bluesky has libertarian “free speech at all costs”.
#Threads has puritan neoliberal top-down moderation.
#Twitter (Musk era) has Nazis-to-the-front anti-moderation.
#Mastodon has community moderation, a server covenant, and vote-with-your-feet accountability.

The first three are run by tech-bro billionaires. The latter is not. And it shows.
