   We're approaching 11 months since I wrote my blogposts and corresponding mega-threads about how decentralized bluesky is

   I will probably write a followup, but hey, it might be a good time to come back to them yourself. How accurate has my analysis turned out to be?

     @b0rk @cwebber i've yet to see a good description of WHAT bsky did to ban somebody on blacksky? A good number of people used to say that was impossible, who were surprised. Was it some obscure technical aspect of the protocol? Can people on blacksky not still see the blocked stuff, or has bsky somehow managed to block it there? What ACTUALLY happened?

     Christine Lemmer-Webber repeated this.

     @kitten_tech @b0rk @cwebber I'm not sure if it helps (this is a long and jargon-y document), but I wrote up an overview of the AT moderation system recently

     @cwebber it feels almost impossible for me to figure out how it relates to what Blacksky has been doing

     (like what are the costs of running Blacksky? how much does Blacksky actually depend on Bluesky? it's just hard for me to tell)

     @kitten_tech @b0rk It's just that everyone is relying on being downstream from Bluesky's infrastructure, including Blacksky. Rudy is working hard to untangle that situation, though.
