Open-source moderation

“Our online experience doesn’t have to depend on billionaires unilaterally making decisions over what we see.”

Bluesky introduces open-source, collaborative moderation for federated social media websites:

Bluesky was created to put users and communities in control of their social spaces online. The first generation of social media platforms connected the world, but ended up consolidating power in the hands of a few corporations and their leaders. Our online experience doesn’t have to depend on billionaires unilaterally making decisions over what we see. On an open social network like Bluesky, you can shape your experience for yourself.

Today, we’re excited to announce that we’re open-sourcing Ozone, our collaborative moderation tool.

Bluesky’s Stackable Approach to Moderation

💡  Might it also work for Mastodon and Threads?
