We’ll be reviewing content for potential misinformation and unconfirmed information regarding claims about the U.S. election. Remember, you can report posts to Bluesky’s moderation service for misleading and illegal/urgent content by clicking the three-dot menu on each post or account.
I sure hope it's not the same team of racists that is responsible for banning Palestinian accounts without a shred of evidence they are fraudulent.
Awesome! It’s to bad Dumbass Elon just let the crap flow. Thank you for doing this.
😏🤥
How about misinformation about the candidates? In Brazil we usually have an organized spread of lies in social networks. Twitter used to be a main target. It usually starts in Twitter and someone important reverberates giving it some credibility.
A surra no cu de Esmeralda!!!!!!!! Amando o Bluesky 💙
• Keeping the process safe and accurate: Any content that encourages or glorifies intimidation or disruption in voting, tabulation, or certification will be removed.
Can you clarify “will be removed” please? Twitter’s policy enforcement made people delete their own violating Tweets. Does Bluesky do the removals, and if so, is there a record of them (if, say, an elected official is in violation)?
• Labeling misinfo about the voting process: Posts with misleading claims about voting, like incorrect ID requirements or manipulated media, will be marked as misinformation.
thank you
• Rapidly changing reports: If we can’t verify emerging reports—such as claims of long lines or incidents at specific polling stations—we’ll label them as "unconfirmed" at the time of assessment.
• Monitoring the post-election period: We’re committed to monitoring the post-election period closely to identify and address any disruptions to the peaceful transition of power.
This work you're doing is essential and critical. Treat it as such. This is what sets you apart from Twitter and Facebook. Don't forget that.
Just don't do it the way Elon is doing it!
Additional safeguards: We may roll out additional in-app interventions as needed to ensure a safe and accurate election process.
I'm here for all of you in the future coming back to claim "You didn't say you were gonna do X." Yeah they did. Right here.
We added a priority queue in our system for election-related reports. We still have an increased number of reports as a result of the two most recent influxes of users, so we hired more moderators to our team. We triage reports to ensure the most severe violations are addressed quickly.
There’s been a flood of propaganda and hate accounts lately. I know it’s tough, but thank you for being active on this.
Lastly, check your voting eligibility and find your polling place here! www.usa.gov/election-day
That is soooo good. Thank you
I hate that this all needs to be said, but it does. Thank you.
Damn, that's a really professional setup. I wish you and the team all the best out there!
If You Don't "VOTE", You Lose The Right To Complain. "The Best Time to Plant a Tree" "VOTE" --- IT IS YOUR RIGHT.
Thank you for this. So much.
Thank YOU
Thank you for your work. It is much appreciated.
Thank you so much!
thank you for this!
📌 US elections/bsky
Please label this account as an impersonator. bsky.app/profile/mail...
How do I do that? I only have options to mute block but no report and label option?
I figured it out❤️
Seriously I love you guys.
Well this is most pleasing, well done. I see we’re working through @timothysnyder.bsky.social #OnTyranny
You can hear an audio recording of the book here for I think 2 more weeks. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

Thanks, I have the paperback
THANK YOU! Well done, and THANK YOU!
Threads ain’t doin that.
I am worried because I was put on a MAGA,type list 💙 true blue here how can I get off it. Just here 2 weeks. I must be making 🌊 to be noticed and attempt stopping me. Thanks in advance.
Hiring more people to do much-needed moderation, instead of relying on a manipulatable user driven system or AI? What a novel concept! (Good luck, we’re all pulling for you.)
i would imagine many of those are probably a i generated false claims ment to clog and slow the process. sad sad times our america right now. i appreciate the carry over efforts for truth from the original twitter. the x isn't the spot for truth and integrity anymore. thank you bb
My sincere gratitude for all you are doing to prevent misinformation during the election.
How many months are you behind on moderation requests at this point? There appears to be ZERO moderation or your moderators are just ignoring all requests and all Bluesky policies.
Another social network completely blocks certain IP domains, like Russia and China permanently. Easily defeated with VPN but just sayin
This is good to hear. I have seen concern about suspension of fundraising accounts with verified identities/vetted GoFundMes. I understand that scammers abuse these niches, but this is troubling. Has there been any hiring to address this, or any outreach to user communities with relevant expertise?
How does your team plan to re-assess emerging reports after they receive an “unconfirmed” label?
Does it apply to russian disinfo ?
