My choice to place a shield in the upper right corner of labeler avatars has blinded one eye of the polar bear. Sorry @profile-labels.bossett.social

normal sinus rhythm has resumed

something weird with my profile lookups the last ~2 hours - falling a bit behind while that gets sorted out

I wonder if anyone wants this

hey why are my mentions blowing up

hello bluesky 🦋

One FAQ: Why are there accounts with both 'Elder' (from @labeler.mountainherder.xyz) and 'New Account' tags? I count 'New Account' from time of earliest *post/reply* in order to get a bead on 'when this person started using the account', the Elder label is based on account creation date.

Ok after a couple of days of playing chicken with the rate limiter I have something working. Will be refining both the timing (updated every 15m right now) and the combinations, so feedback welcome.

I've rolled out out lists that combine some of the labels, so you can choose to block certain label combinations.

ACAB includes 'ratelimit-policy': '5000;w=3600'

(sneaky new label for nostr users)

(sneaky new label for bridgy users)

Two label updates: 1. NEW: 'Only Replies' - where a user only has replies in their history and no 'top level' posts. 2. 'New Handle' is now 'Changed Handle' to better reflect that the user isn't new. Didn't realise that 'handle' was synonymous with 'account' in other places.

ok I am a) alive and b) almost caught up to realtime - as with all software the issue is fixed permanently and forever so once this is done it should be all good

bit of a perfect storm - my labeller fell over about 24h ago (it's just got a few hours delay) while I was really busy so only just got around to fixing it; should be catching up now

The labeller is almost entirely automated, so if (e.g.) you add a profile image, it will remove the label by itself. May take a few minutes since I don't want to be *too* aggressive loading profiles. If you think you have a removal bug, ping here or @bossett.social or wait for me to check appeals.

I've changed 'High Volume' to be a periodic measure - I'm trying to flag bot accounts that post to a very set interval, not to identify people who post a lot.

New labels! No avatar/display name labels have gone in, and the new account/new handle logic is now more robust. The new labels default to *off*. They're hide/block labels and I don't want to default block brand new users until onboarding is better - but they're definitely gonna be useful to some.

Had a bug dropping 3p labels on web. Refresh should fix it. Will post about this on @bsky.app once all looks good

oh no broken while I work through this bug

AppView stops receiving events from ozone · Issue #107 · bluesky-social/ozonegithub.com This is very hard to describe, but the appview stops processing labels, seemingly at random. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:i5blflq3dvovxl6ser4ptcnq should be labelled by https://bsky.app/profile...

the people immediately spoke 👀

First major change - added a 'New Account' label, some accounts will have both until the 'New Handle' ages out. This just flags accounts that are new separately from changes to handle, so it's clearer on what it means.

The labels are automated statements about things observed in the ecosystem and are auto-removed when those conditions no longer apply. That means that I (@bossett.social) will check appeals inconsistently. Code is here: github.com/Bossett/bsky..., suggestions, issues, etc. all welcome.

ok all caught up to real time

We are good to go! Early days yet since I only act on changes since things started running today - it'll take a week or two to be truly useful. Only one label so far - for new handles/new accounts - specifically as a first go at solving the impersonation issue that has hit a few accounts.

hmm maybe a bit *too* beta - it's backfilling now, so in-the-wild labels should come in over the next ~day 👀

Consider this a beta release - there are a couple of bugs that are gonna have to be worked through, but I am tentatively announcing my profile labeller. At the moment, it flags accounts where the handle has recently (last 30 days) changed, which should help with identifying impersonation.
