3/6 We never discuss moderation decisions in a separate Discord channel or other apps. You can submit reports in the Bluesky app, or via email to moderation@blueskyweb.xyz.

I will never understand how some people can seriously believe that the moderation team of any kind of site would contact them via DISCORD.

4/6 We never ask for your password, and you shouldn't share it with anyone else.

With all the skill going into social engineering, at least people should be trained to focus whenever somebody in customer service says the word 'password'

Please. Use. Your. @bsky.app. Domain. For. Moderation. Emails.

5/6 Never change the email on your account to one you don't control. Someone can then request a password reset to that email and take over your account. Additionally, verify your account email if you haven’t already. Settings > Account > Email.

Why are you allowing hostile accounts like this , who run lists that hurts accounts just run wild. They added me because I reported them for what they are, platform manipulators who are damaging the users that you are here to protect.

oh the countless times I said this, but also not real MFA, sooo if you use the access details which was part of a breach well it makes this feature pointless. as for the rest security is not much of a thing here and folks these are warning signs

I CAN’T. YOU WON’T LET ME RECOVER THE EMAIL ADDRESS YOU SUGGESTED TO ME FOR MY ALT ACCOUNT AND I HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO LOG IN SINCE I GOT A NEW PHONE. Please let us use the same email for all accounts.

6/6 We only communicate moderation decisions via email, not via DMs. If anyone messages you claiming this, please report them as spam in the app.

I deal with this every day at my job. Happy to collaborate with your team if I can be of any help. We all have to fight these scammers together. This is the biggest game they run on our platform too.

You should have my email address please feel free to contact me if you like.

Someone asked me if they could see the funny numbers on Daddy's credit card 💳

What sort of off platform messaging were the scammers trying to redirect you to?

Also the account @palomar.bsky.social is 100 percent not a human being and troll bot. They have 4 posts and 1.7 million accounts blocked.

I wasn't familiar with that account, but they're blocking me. Wonder what that's all about?

They're a bot it's not a real person. They just block ton of people

That jerk put me on a list too @knighthawkken.bsky.social

Idk why bluesky hasn't banned them yet Jenna @free2beme.bsky.social 😩it's so wild to me.

Technically they're not doing anything wrong — yet. Assume at some point whoever's running it has plans that could be against TOS. Currently it's just a weird account.

child sitting in the cellar

Im blocking that acct now.

Hey can you please do something about these moderation lister accounts and labelers harrasing everyone? Like @skywatch.blue for example? How is putting people on block lists for using blue heart emoji not harassing and against terms of service?

I reported this deeply neurotic control freak. Hope he/she/it is gone soon.

Great thank you

I did too some months back I hope they nix that nutjob smh.

I found out I was on one of those lists as a supposed bot. Super annoying as I basically share legal documents (with explanations and my opinions) and live post hearings, it takes a lot of work and I have no idea how it can come across as bot-like?!

Doesn't sound bot like to me either! I don't know, there is many forces at work in this world not all of them are out to do good. Some people are abusing the moderation lists it's been problem on here for a long time now.

A big Amen to that

You really need to fix the problem that seems to be affecting some users, whereby having enabled 2FA, the system stops emailing them authorisation codes. I have an outstanding support ticket for this that's a month old. I've exchanged emails with support but it's very slow.

If you enable 2FA you have no need for getting auth codes emailed

It was enabling 2FA that caused the problem. Oh this platform you get your 2FA authentication code by email. If it stops sending the 2FA codes, as it had done, you're locked out and can't turn 2FA off. The only other path is to change your email address, which requires a 2FA code. Zero support.

Hey, while you're here can you explain why this homophobic, sexually explicit message sent to me wasn't removed?

i just reported the culprit. don’t know eta on them taking action.

Thank you even if you don’t see this. Bluesky saved me from likely ending up dead due to MH issues. I will be forever grateful.

Hope you're OK today

💙💞💙 You’re so thoughtful. I had a chaotic day. Two medical appointments in one day on a Friday in S. Florida. Traffic both ways. I’m really grateful to know that I have people who look out for me. 💙💞💙

It's what most of us are here for, to support each other. Hold on in there.

You too. 💜💕💙

Good morning ☕

There are some massive block lists on Bluesky and they are openly visible to anyone. What does EU privacy law say about that?

lmao no you fucking don't

Yet there's people on here threatening to kill people that don't get banned.

💙 🫂 💙 Danke! Thx. 💙

How long will it take after I send the email?
