How to build a competing version of Bluesky that does better moderation.

🧵 How to build a competing version of Bluesky that does better moderation.

I'll show you the steps to create a new app that has partial compatibility with Bluesky. This gives you a separate space to talk that does not connect to Bluesky, while also interacting with Bluesky when you want.

Let's call our new hypothetical app GreenFields.

GreenFields has the following properties:

• Follow/interact with the other people on GreenFields
• Follow/interact with people on Bluesky
• An additional moderation layer

So far this seems like a lot of effort for a benefit that equals 'what if we all used this shared blocklist'.
