“Unleash Your Moderation Power with Ozone: The Revolutionary Service by Bluesky”

The company’s vision for moderation is a stackable ecosystem of services, which is why it will start allowing users to install filters from independent moderation services on top of what Bluesky already requires. For example, someone could create a moderation service that blocks images of spiders on the network. Bluesky says installing filters from independent moderation services will be as easy as following another account. People running moderation services will be able to set custom labels and determine what they do. Moderation services aren’t tied to individual accounts, so multiple people can manage them together.

Bridging the Gap: Groover’s Solution for Promoting Independent Artists

New Team Pic June 2022 C Laurie Bisceglia

The 3,000 and growing music curators on Groover set their own price, and each transaction gets split with half of the money going to the curator and half to Groover. While I like the concept of artists getting to have these more direct relationships with these different curators, it bums me out that pay-to-play has become the best option for these independent artists. I also get that music journalism is shrinking as the number of independent musicians continues to rapidly scale. Palmieri added that the majority of independent artists just do not have better or more cost-effective options. Both of these startups help the artists but they also help the folks in the industry needed to get those artists off the ground.
