I think a lot of this is "comply in advance" in a new (political)
climate for tech companies. Path of least resistance for them RN.
But also i think robust self-moderation tools for users is really the only
scalable answer. "Community Notes" are helpful, but can be gamed.
Just give me the power to block/mute whatever content, topics, people or
businesses that i don't want to see. It's not perfect, but Bluesky's
"composable moderation" has kept a lot of dumb crap and idiots out of my
feed. Not perfect, labelers can (and have been) abused. But i prefer this
to Mastodon's instance-based moderation, which is more like posting on a
local BBS where the sysop has the power to moderate :)
