jonny (good kind)They continue to misunderstand or refuse to acknowledge the risks of the protocol, and this paragraph is a decent example - you are free to choose a different service if you dont like something. Its a market, consumer choice solves. Notice the "well behaved" part though. Adversarial actors can and will follow you, and there's very little you can do about that since identity is so cheap on the protocol. You can just infinitely spawn accounts and troll someone into oblivion in a way that isnt possible on other mediums. You can simply block all new contact, but then that activity will likely still be visible to everyone else on the platform, shrouding everything you post in hate, spam, etc.
Id love to be wrong about this, but when they truly open federation I cant see how it wont go off like a bomb, or else require really strident relay-based moderation, as the devs described to me here: https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/discussions/1711#discussioncomment-8032293
