Of course there are some things I don’t like about the way Bluesky handles follows lists and moderation, as they are still taking no responsibility for moderation on their flagship product and those lists cannot exist outside of the platform so they can be disseminated and imported externally.

But the framework for that type of data portability already exists on #TheBadSpace, so making that happen outside of Bluesky wouldn’t be that difficult. And I already have plans to extend the functionality of TBS to include specific accounts in addition to instances.

The challenge is to get platforms in the fedi to integrate this feature set into the experience, which has been an uphill battle to say the least.

But it is a confirmation for me that my premise concerning nuanced tooling would be a significant step in making the fedi competitive with any platform and put it in position to surpass whatever comes out because it’s not limited to a centralized context.

Which gets me even more excited for the possibilities of #Fipamo. I know a limited version of my idea works at scale.

I don’t know if the bigger fedi projects will adapt, but the direction they need to go has never been clearer.

Ha, but that’s why I’m building my own thing.
