I hate that my emotions are so sensitive to music. It makes even something as usually joyous as Animal Crossing into something fraught with pitfalls.

None of these hold reliably in practice.
The system has the form of decentralization without the substance of accountability which selectorate theory suggests is the worst of both worlds.

Defenders argue: "Just unsubscribe!" But this assumes perfect information (users know how labelers behave), low switching costs and competitive markets (but network effects create natural monopolies)

Bluesky's system, despite its decentralized aesthetic, recreates these dynamics at the labeler level. You've essentially created dozens of small authoritarian fiefdoms with no constitutional constraints, and called it "user choice."

Selectorate theory predicts that systems with small winning coalitions and low accountability will trend toward loyalty-based rather than competence-based decisions, private goods distribution (helping friends, hurting enemies),

The blocklist operator only needs to satisfy subscribers who like the blocking, the blocked have no voice.

Blocklists are even worse. They're binary (blocked or not), often inherited without review, and create guilt-by-association dynamics. If you're added to a list that 50,000 people subscribe to, you've effectively been sentenced without trial by someone accountable to no one.

Labeler operators become gatekeepers. This creates opportunities for protection rackets, ideological capture and social capital extraction.

This is classic Olsonian collective action failure, organized minorities with concentrated interests dominate over diffuse majorities.

Those who want someone labeled or blocked have intense preferences and will actively lobby the operator. Those wrongly labeled often don't even know it happened, and even if they do, the cost of fighting it exceeds the benefit.

This mirrors the "dictator's dilemma" low accountability means private goods (serving allies, punishing enemies) dominate over public goods (accurate moderation).

Users can unsubscribe, but most users subscribe once and forget (rational ignorance), there's no transparency requirement for labeling decisionsl, no appeals process with teeth, no competitive pressure if a labeler achieves network-effect dominance in a community.

If your base wants certain accounts suppressed, you label them, truth or proportionality becomes secondary to coalition maintenance. In democratic systems, leaders face elections. Labeler operators face... what exactly?

A labeler operator doesn't need to satisfy all users, only enough subscribers to maintain relevance and influence. This creates a small winning coalition dynamic. The operator's incentive is to keep their core subscribers happy, not to moderate fairly or accurately.

Bluesky's moderation is "composable" users subscribe to third-party labelers and blocklists run by independent operators. This creates a political economy with perverse dynamics.

The full moon shone on the calm water, and she just floated there with the lilly pads, covered in glowing petals. She brought life to the serenity of this quiet and still place with petals swirling around her in a gentle dance; a guardian, an angel of the lotus garden.

It is very good to know these are *homegrown* evils yes, but they are and always will be *un-American*.
I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

Nobody says this about any other countries, you know
This country was founded on good ideals that we should always strive to live up to, but people want to feel edgy and smart and contrarian, and not "cringe", so they forget them
