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” moderation.
#Threads has puritan neoliberal top-down moderation.
#Twitter has Nazis-to-the-front anti-moderation.
#Mastodon has a server covenant and vote-with-your-feet, accountable community moderation.

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