    I came away from reading over the AuthTransfer protocol and its handling of moderation/enabling users with a very major sense of, “We outsource almost everything!”

    Indeed, or rather the difficult and legally tricky parts are off-loaded to 3rd parties but the profitable parts (algorithmic indexer and the app view with advertisements) are very much still in the hands of BlueSky the company.

      It’s smart to offload the legally tricky parts. Versus here those fall onto admins

        In ATproto they fall on the admins as well, just not on the admins of the commercial company that runs Bluesky and profits from it.
