  Are people running megacorps not random persons, but with extra wealth concentration?

  And the beauty of federation is that the process is (and is evolving ever more into) a bit more democratic with easier transitions or irrelevancy of what your home fedistan is.

  With megacorps you don’t have even the theoretical option, you can just move to an entirely new platform.

    This is wty we need social networks where you can choose your moderation independently of your instance. And Mastodon is not that. I’m not sure if Bluesky is.

      Why would Bluesky be?
      It has a responsibly to its owners to maximise profit.
      So they will block & force-promote just like any Twitter or Facebook.

      And what is self-moderation? The block function? Or like choosing your interests (like subscribing to tags/channels/instances)?

        Bluesky has moderation lists that anyone can make and you can subscribe to them to choose what content you don’t want to see. It also gives you fine-grained control over the “default” moderation, allowing you to individually choose if you want to block nudity, threats, misinformation, spam, intolerance, etc.
