Bluesky will be getting “communities,” which will function as smaller spaces where you can “go deeper and hang out with people who care about the same stuff” sometime this.

“Communities” on Bluesky sounds nice, but my first thought is: who’s doing the cleanup when things get weird. Smaller rooms are great until you realize you need more janitors, not fewer.

I’m curious how they’re handling moderation and reporting without turning it into the same old “mods burn out, everyone leaves” cycle.
