Comment on Jack Dorsey claims Bluesky is 'repeating all the mistakes' he made at Twitter
Skepticpunk@lemmy.world 6 months agoI hope he realizes that having moderation isn’t a choice social media websites get to make anymore. That’s Apple and Google’s choice now. Why? Because in order to have literally any userbase at all nowadays, you have to have an app. Websites barely get used in comparison to phone apps. And if you don’t bother moderating your website and let people send things like racial slurs and child porn unabated, you get kicked off the app stores by Apple and Google. Not to mention that payment companies don’t like those things either.

That situation (apple and Google as sole gatekeepers) is fucked up and should change with the new eu legislation.
