@anyaustin.bsky.social I know you're probably not a player of Sky: Children of the Light, but if you ever feel inclined to give it a try, it has some of the most picturesque out of bounds areas I've ever encountered in a game. There's a whole subculture around finding them.

Oh, one more Bluesky specific: I don't know how perfectly the automod is catching the video/stills, but go to Settings, Moderation, scroll down to Content Filters, and set "Graphic Media" to warn or hide if you had it on "show". (It's gotten quite a few for me.)
