What does lead to immediate suspensions? Inauthentic behavior, like running multiple accounts for the same purpose or impersonation accounts, can cause this. Our improved anti-spam tooling can surface rings of inauthentic coordinated behavior that may not be as obvious at face value.
Nice work.
A simple suggestion for the platform.💙🙏 Hello Bluesky Safety !! I would suggest that the platform reconsider how suspended accounts are handled, especially since spam often leads to account suspensions. . Thank you for your continued support.
Thank you ☘ I appreciate the valuable information and your thoughtful engagement with users. Warm greetings!
So we can only have 1 Bluesky account for each person?
I’ve reported a person for creating 30 accounts & adding me each time. I picked up on it when I had 3 follows all with the same person in the profile pic all with the name Logan in it. Nothing has been done about it. 30 accounts & that’s not including the initial ones before I realised the problem.
Cool. Suspend the Will Stancil account. I have him muted and he makes sock puppet accounts to be annoying.
But most of us are behind VPN's. Does that make it harder?
and yet yall still allow Jesse Singal on here
Thanks for eliminating the multiple accounts which some OnlyFans promoters have created.
What about the people with their "vengeful" list, out of spite?? I can't tell you how many times I've reported people for childish behavior because they don't like someone so they create a list and they put them on there. It's just ridiculous and nothing it's done about it
What about people who explicitly state their intent to coordinate harassment against users?
But not, it seems, to send death threats to @jessesingal.com. That doesn't seem to lead to immediate suspensions.
You know, all you have to do is put some power in my block. I’ll handle it myself. If you gave people control over curating and protecting their accounts, you wouldn’t have nearly as much work to do 🧐
Really - I want to not be placed on lists. Especially after I’ve blocked someone. And I’d like to take my account private.
Mistakes can and do happen, and it helps us improve our processes and tooling. If you think an account was suspended in error, you can appeal through moderation@blueskyweb.xyz.
Uh oh guys Bluesky made ONE MISTAKE!!1!! we gotta go back to X!!
It’s still growing and evolving. There’s bound to be growing pains. And sometimes you don’t know something needs to be fixed until it happens.
Yeah seriously, if we take Twitter to be the standard of Social Media I think we owe Bluesky a little more than two years of runtime.
Thank you for posting this!
Hahaha that email address is hilarious. Also, please fix this because I agree with others it looks like total spam and shady.
thank you for saying something! communication is super important.
You don't actually do anything. bsky.app/profile/smas...

May @jay.bsky.team use the sword of justice to lead the team to a healthy balanced process! You all do amazing work given the size of the team & the scale of the challenges.
Remember the damage that Epoch Times posts and fake accounts did in boosting the "Stop The Steal" disinformation on Facebook prior to Jan 6th. It is well documented, and Facebook ultimately deleted dozens of huge fake accounts disguised to look like real individuals
That is the scammiest sounding domain.
BlueSky addresses have ignored my requests for explanation of WHY my account was suspended. Now that I have created a new account JUST to come into the app to check BlueSky to try to understand it, my experience seems to be common. Is BlueSky really trying to ALIENATE people trying to use it?????
Same here. Criticism of Trump's Fascism is my guess
If being inodiated with multiple reports is an issue, perhaps a function / feature inclusion idea, such as if Bluesky receives multiple reports, let the user know when they submit their report, they are aware of the of the potential account. That way the reporting user is in the loop and dups can be
Maybe an automated label saying “this account has had a lot of reports recently, are you sure you wish to view the account?”
Nah then it'd be used as a way for people to make others out as bad individuals and prevent people seeing their posts even when it's false reports. Basically a weaponized label.
Don’t hide the post or anything, just a label on the account or post like in the image below. There’s no censorship for mass-flagging other than a warning. And users should be able to disable the warning labels if they wish (not for the labeled account but the user viewing them)
And once the post has been cleared/checked by the mods (which takes roughly half an hour) and it’s all good the label will disappear
disregarded quietly on the back end, lessening the burden on the safety team? Just an idea.
there was a person "Ash vamproot" who use the R slur against people because they were caught lying. can you make it a part of your rules that using that slur results in a 3 day suspension or something. i have a learning disability and that actually hurts that someone thinks it's ok to use
I've been added to lists like 'uses the R slur' etc. Pretty sure I've never said it. ';
Considering someone just posted a screen capture of you using that word I am willing to bet my life and 2 million dollars that you being added to those lists is justified
I honestly didn't even notice she said that. I don't use it. I was just honestly impressed she was up on current affairs.
touche.
Ooof.
I have a question. Is this that person? They were incredibly abusive towards me recently, saying I should be deported... bsky.app/profile/ashp...
Yeah it's this person and I doubt that they're on the left
Yeah they blocked me. And I doubt it too. Someone is wrong with them. I'm a furry and they apparently claim to be also. Giving us a bad name. I reported their account.
Nah people like that are more than likely pedo
I don't know what it is but people who find it easy to use slurs and be racist are also very likely to be pedo.
So it's wrong to call you 'R', but it's OK for you to call people 'pedo'. I only assume what the R slur is, but while I detest all such slurs, which offensive name is more likely to get someone brutalized or murdered or their life screwed up regardless of whether it's true or not, R or pedo?
you're defending the far right right for being predators.
Most republicans are pedos tho
Not to mention the word pedo is a legal definition for a person who commits a seriously immoral act. I've never met a maga person who is a good person in their heart.
I'm adult, but their replies were trying to threaten me. It was very strange.
Yeah it tracks. Right wing and violence
One thing that would help is making it so if people put you on lists to harass you or target your account, if you block them it automatically drops you from their lists. Right now it doesn't. This is unsafe.
How about quit closing the accounts of every Palestinian person trying to survive? Then we might believe you.
Mistakes - when will you 'free' Donk and Brittney? They created starter lists that greatly helped me find people from X. I couldn't think of all the people I wanted to follow here, and these lists helped me find everyone. So safety ?? Really? My wishlist includes a bookmark function, too.
Yes, #Bluesky - please reinstate Donk and Brittney. They were immeasurably helpful when I joined last year. Now, I have a thriving page with really good people, thanks in part to Donk and Brittney. Might I also add, that they have been a valuable asset to Bluesky as a whole? Please reconsider.
Thank you 🥰
Please. Use. Your. @bsky.app. Domain. For. Moderation.
I really don't get why their mod email looks like a scam account, and it's for safety of all things
People get mailed by that domain and are asked to send in their photo ID. That's like scam 101
That's even worse than I thought
dozens of people on reddit asking if it's a scam or real - and it surprisingly is real
They seem to be really inconsistent an about which domain they use for email. They have press@blueskyweb.xyz but then support@bsky.app. They also send other notifications from noreply@bsky.social. Soooooo many domain names.
It’s their old domain. I agree tho ofc, absurd that they haven’t changed it
This really needs to be fixed. It's a vulnerability that can't be ignored.
📌
Appreciate posting this. Some person attacked me out of the blue and said they were reporting me. I assumed you’d check and I blocked them. But definitely could be a free speech issue via trolls.
Thank You!
I have questions on what counts as spam. As a fundraiser for a small registered charity sharing often is a strategy to keep the fundraiser alive in people’s minds and hopefully reach donors. Should I be aware of a limit? Once a day, once a week?
Also questioning about follow farming? It’s not like more followers and engagement = money here like tick tok or Facebook. And starter packs make it easy to build followers fast. What about limiting the packs both in numbers to follow and how many packs allowed posted.
And needing permission from both parties before someone is added to the pack. Aka: thisguy has added you to Cool People Pack, Accept or Decline. Idk. I have hard times understanding rules if there’s grey areas.
And if a certain tool is available to use, some people are just naturally going to be better at using it. So clear limits should be applied.
I still have a question on ratios. I am on several follow farmng lists. But my ratio is great. I could understand if I were following 62k but only had 10k followers and I begged for follwers. But I dont need to because my content is fairly decent.
You are contributing to people starving to death.
Are appeals run by a human? Will a response always be provided? I was once suspended by Twitter accidentally and I had to set up a ghost account to plead to Twitter employees to investigate. Hopefully that wouldn’t be needed here.
Excellent, TY
One item that would make BlueSky a safer and kinder place would be to allow the ability of users to remove themselves from unwanted lists created by those with ill intent. I know many others have requested the same. It would improve user experiences AND would cut down on fake mass reporting. thx!
I *think* blocking the list creator does that. Doesn't it?
???
At first I thought so too. I thought it was the same as twitter. However, I've checked on ClearSky and see I'm still on lists that are meant to harass. I've researched the issue and apparently you can not remove yourself by blocking the list creator. If I'm wrong I'd love for BlueSky to clarify this
Ugh, damn. Yeah, we need a way to do that for sure. I'm on some of the most ridiculous lists!
Me too. All I want is the ability to remove myself from said lists and block the creator. While it is simple enough to block the creator it's near impossible to remove yourself from said lists. One creator said "just ask" if you want to be removed. So I did and she immediately blocked me 🤣
Génial!
Very good, the faster you can eliminate the fake accounts the better for everyone. Don’t let this place become a swamp like xTwitter…
Well said
No complaints, but in general you might want to do a hatemail::value-add analysis before making posts from the acct lol. This post basically reads as taunting some of the most actively rebellious users on the site
What about exposing the head of safety liking porn bots on main?
