We’re used to living online under a few billionaires. If something’s wrong, we complain, leave, or hope lawmakers act.
@mmasnick.bsky.social calls this “learned helplessness.” Bluesky’s idea of letting people choose their own algorithms and moderation aims to give that control back.

Apps like Bluesky and Mastodon promise more control, like custom feeds, algorithms, and even subscribing to others’ moderation rules.
But as @noupside.bsky.social tells @rabble.nz, most people want “stupid simple” with familiar feeds and centralized moderation like X.
