   I recognize lots of folks here don't trust Bluesky, but I actually find a lot of what they're doing really, really interesting and worth watching, including their experiment with "composable moderation." https://www.techdirt.com/2023/04/20/bluesky-plans-decentralized-composable-moderation/

     @mmasnick Mike, this is a great write up. These ideas (composable moderation combined with a marketplace for algorithms) can and should be implemented via #ActivityPub. There's no technical reason why this can't happen via the developer community here in the Fediverse.

     @mike@flipboard.social @mmasnick I've beat this drum a lot. Everything that Bluesky is proposing can be done right now in Mastodon via the client. Open API and open source allow you to theoretically have a client that could offer you algorithmic curation/moderation of your feeds. You could even have a market place of interchangeable algorithms between clients. Open beats black box.

     Why is it that all interesting moderation conversations happen between Mikes and do I need to change my name? :)

     @osma @mike@flipboard.social @mmasnick It's just a numbers game. Back in the late 60s early 70s all moms in North America got together and decided that the only acceptable male names would be Mike, Steve, or Dave.

     I was the only one in my class with my name. Nationally. For an entire decade. :)

     @mmasnick Unlike others in this thread I did not read "composting moderation". But I *did* read it with Monty Python's "Decomposing composers" playing in the back of my head.
