Let’s goooo
By default, only people you follow can message you. You can change this setting to everyone or no one, or keep it to people you follow. Read more about how to use DMs and our planned feature updates in this blog post!
Just shipped: Bluesky Direct Messages! - Blueskybsky.social You can now send direct messages (DMs) to people on Bluesky! Say hi to a friend, colleague, or a crush.

I’m confused about one thing. In your newsletter you say you plan to make DMs e2e encrypted, but you also say the moderation team needs access. How do you do both?

Here is what I'm referring to. (It was actually in the blog post.) I guess I'm not fully clear on what e2ee means here? I thought that in true e2ee even the moderation team wouldn't have this kind of access? So is that only temporary, or am I wrong about how e2ee would be implemented?

Your team did a good job. Congratulations. The DM closing feature is very well thought out. Those who do not want to use DM can turn it off.

Having no DMs was actually one of the features I really *liked* about BlueSky...

"Muted users are able to DM you." .. so there is no way how to let DMs open as there is no protection from misuses. Sad

I think it was timed well enough so people don't fill your DMs with GIF when 😅😂

Love that default, Jay. Protect your most vulnerable use cases at all times! I would have kicked it off with no one as the default but then again, I'm all about empower your users to have confident control over the software they're using (I'm old fashioned, I know).

Funny I don’t see anything about E2EE. Why would these DMs be better than a SMS?

Y’all are possibly the most loved people in the world, right now.
