Wait, are we suggesting that Twitter would have handled that situation better? Surely not.
If I am somehow forced to choose only between Bluesky, Meta and Twitter’s moderation teams as my source of protection (and thank the Maker that’s not the only choice we have), I’m going to choose Meta’s team over the eviscerated, downtrodden mess that is Twitter all day, or Bluesky’s myopic view that hate isn’t really a problem.
I mean, “moderation better than Twitter” is a pretty low bar to meet there, but they are undoubtedly going to meet at least that. And ultimately, I think that is what will win over the masses vs, say, the libertarian direction BlueSky is going.
I personally hope they hurry up and federate already so that the very many people I would like to follow who aren’t ever going to move to Mastodon I can follow on Mastodon 
That’ll be the best of all worlds; threads just becomes another server at that point, I can instead rely on my Mastodon’t server and their moderation policy and ignore everything else.
