About this episode
The episode discusses Sarah Kendzior's ban from Bluesky and the implications of moderation in social media.
A short podcast about Sarah Kendzior being banned from Bluesky, and why this shouldn't be like any other such event. We should learn, that systems like Bluesky depend on moderation, and they don't have a clear business model, and they've grown very large, and they can't afford to hire moderators who understand the difference between a line from a powerful song , and a threat. If we want a literate web, and I desperately want that myself, it has to be made in a different way. That's what this short podcast is about. And to Sarah, if you hear this, I love your work. You've done here what you usually do so well, you've shown us the truth. Keep on truckin! Dave Winer
