I get how it works from the filter side - but as a creator, how can you mark your work to apply to these filters? And are you obliged to rate your work/posts? Still trying to find my way around here (like some being able to post emojis, I can't even copypaste them.) Learning curve. ^^;
You can't. And the algorithm doesn't catch everything, especially drawn artwork and furry stuff.
As a result, I can't open BSKY in public because it doesn't understand dragon dick and the artist can't mark it as explicit.
You are a little late to the party - this post was from the days when you had no way, technically, to mark content yourself. They have implemented the option meanwhile. The little shield with the ! in it didn't exist back then, in the old wilderness days of Early Bluesky xD
