Welcome to the Bluesky Safety account! We’ll use this to share more information about how we’re handling trust and safety on Bluesky.

This account will strictly be used for sharing information, not responding to moderation reports. If you have a post or account you’d like to report, please use the in-app feature by clicking into the three dot menu – that’s the fastest way for our moderation team to review your report.

To emphasize: Tagging this account is not a reporting flow. To report a post or profile, please use the in-app reporting feature.

Then FFS add more options when reporting a profile This - is not enough

I have way more options.

Reporting an account itself only shows 2 options. But reporting a skeet shows the extra ones

That's when reporting individual posts. Only 2 options when you want to report entire account - which you can do from the account profile.

Agreed. There's no sensible way to report harmful content

A question, Jay @jay.bsky.team - how do people *not* using the mobile app report a profile when using a standard web browser?

Sorry for using your profile as example (didn't click it don't worry lol) but bottommost button in the dropdown menu. Same as Twitter.

I think web and mobile app have basically the same features?

After being tortured by 'official' mobile apps I really don't appreciate companies assuming everyone will use them instead of a desktop web browser. My phone doesn't even have an OS, let alone the ability to run apps.

To emphasize: your users don’t give a fuck about your flows. Meet your users where they are, not in some internal system that’s a black box to them.

this account is new. telling people how not to use it is just as important as telling them how to use it. don’t be an ass

I have 30 years of experience writing software. 20 years designing, implementing and running products for customers and customer support. Telling users, on a communications platform, not to use it ain’t it.

sorry you’ve been bad at documentation and comms your entire career but that’s really a you problem

Maybe time to pave the cowpaths then.

Now we know you read them.

How many people have already sent feedback as reports against your account?

Antici……

We recognize you've been waiting for us to finish this word. We're striving to do better. 🤗

….pation

Are y'all going to apologize for the slurs and antiblackness now or still no

One of them did a week ago. But it would have been nice if more of the team spoke up

Jay just did.

Please tell us you're monitoring new signups for anything racist, misogynist, homophobic or transphobic, or antisemitic in their immediate username or profile.

a shame you already killed all good faith everyone was willing to give you

Well..... this sure wasn't the first post that needed to be made.

Remember, moderation leads must be drawn from marginalized communities or they will fail to see the harm those communities struggle with. White boys cannot tell the difference between a "joke" and violent threats of hateful rhetoric, as we've seen repeated;y with literally every other platform.

trust and safety on bluesky? sounds like a good idea

lol

More accounts. How did you know that’s exactly what was needed?!

We don't trust you. 🤷‍♀️

Finally some good news!

Is there a way to stop people from following you? Is it normal to get a bunch of followers that you dint know in your first 24 hours of joining?

So when will you hire a proper Trust & Safety team?

Hallo, die Anzeige meiner eigenen Posts unterscheidet sich gelegentlich(bisher 2x festgestellt) von der anderer User.Das finde ich sehr störend, da ich mir nicht immer merken kann, was ich mal gepostet hatte.Ich möchte mich auf die Darstellung zu meinen Posts verlassen können und keine Abweichungen

lol

I feel safer already.
