Let’s say you’re trying to decide between two Mastodon instances, run by Sandra and Billy.
You agree with some of Sandra’s moderation decisions and priorities, but not all of them. Same with Billy.
Which do you join?
In the #Bluesky/ #ATProto model, you can opt-in to both of their moderation systems, and set custom warning/hide levels for different categories of offenses.
Then if one of them starts getting weird or shady, you just unsubscribe, no need to migrate your account anywhere.
@jsit I guess you could say that this way, moderation services can be kind of like "virtual instances", right? so you can choose to "join" such "instance" at any time and you get its moderation applied to what you see, but you can belong to more than one at a time and switch them like eSIM cards, and you're not "physically" hosted on any
