MODERATORS
I feel like this is going to become a problem with federation in the future. A Mastodon instance is hosting content outside of its control that may or may not comply with its internal policies or local law. Is that instance protected legally? Likely not.
It would likely be treated the same way as auto forwarding an email would be treated.
AT proto's PDS architecture does solve that ๐
Edit: I do want to say that after reading this blog post I have become a bit more lenient on ATProto. It seemed rather neutral and objective and found several upsides that I think are worth taking a look at.
Has BlueSky implemented federation yet?
No, but if it did you could control where your data lived, because people do host their own PDS iirc for bluesky.
Yeah, if.
wdym they not have federation yet, there are independent servers for every service (e.g. pds, relay, appview, moderation) except for PLC
yes
