You're right, Bluesky moderation is centralized. Unless content is served p2p, some moderation has to be centralized. At the end of the day, there's a server serving content and that server operator is legally obligated to remove illegal material.

Hopefully, atproto + community will provide alternatives for moderation services. Work is being done on this, we'll see what we end up getting. I feel that a competitive ecosystem of moderation services is probably the best answer we can hope for to that inherently messy problem.
