From what I have seen using Bluesky this isn't true at all. It's brutally censored, even more than Twitter was in 2021. Or are there other relays and appviews I can use that aren't? Is there a comprehensive list of Bluesky infrastructure that isn't run by Bluesky themselves (excluding a PDS)? Or is it totally centralized for now?

They had a massive amount of reports that they can hardly keep up with. Their “safety” team will be costly and grow very large!

> Bluesky Safety team posted Friday that it received 42,000 moderation reports in the preceding 24 hours (versus 360,000 in all of 2023).

This sounds more like an attack then a byproduct of a growth bump.

It's mass reporting. It worked on old twitter, and it works on new old twitter.
