   Y'all know Jack Dorsey isn't involved with BlueSky and hasn't been for a long time right? Like that's the one bit of weird misinformation people seem to be fixated on. He left when they refused to leave the platform unmoderated. Since then, they've implemented a bunch of moderation tools, frankly tools that are better than this platform has. I say that as someone who was a mod for a large instance.

     Eugen has, and I mean this to be as insulting as it sounds, been a horrible steward of the project. There are reasons so many forks have popped up, and we have this weird split of instances that are partially compatible. So many of those projects started as pieces that could have easily been pulled into the main code base, but his refusal to consider anyone's ideas but his own made these fractures a reality.

     I'm just gonna end this rant by saying two things:
     - Thank your local mod staff. Almost all are volunteers, and it's a very hard job with the tools on hand.
     - Toss your server ops a coin every now and then. They spend more than you think making these spaces exist.
