TIP 1: FEEL SAFE. Frances @francesmeh.reviews made a list of all the safety features of BlueSky here bsky.app/profile/fran...
francesmeh.reviews Frances Meh @francesmeh.reviews · Nov 10
one of the reasons bluesky works differently is because early users waged a successful fight to get the devs to prioritize safety features to protect communities at risk

as a result bluesky now has a suite of controls that i think are unmatched on social media

here’s the list, lmk what i’ve missed
A Probably Incomplete List of Bluesky User Safety Mechanisms Protecting your posts • disabling replies on your posts • limiting replies on your posts to people you follow, mention, or include in specific lists • disabling quote posting on your posts • detaching your post from someone else's quote • changing the above interaction settings even after a post is sent hiding replies to your posts for yourself or for everyone • self-labeling your media for adult or graphic content to protect other users • limiting account visibility only to logged in users • note: this is not 100% enforceable but all major bluesky clients and apps support it Limiting your interaction • blocking users from seeing or interacting with your posts • if you block after an interaction, they vaporize • if they've replied already, the entire thread below their reply is cauterized for everyone, floating in space detached from your post • note: your blocks are publicly visible via 3rd party apps • muting users to remove them from your notis and feeds, and hide them in replies • note: your mutes are private • muting or blocking entire moderation lists of users • note: inclusion in a list is public via third party apps. muting a list is private, blocks via a list are public • subscribing to other people's mod lists • note: your subscription is private, muting & blocking work the same • subscribing to labelers (moderation services) from bluesky or third parties o decide whether to show, warn, or hide posts that have been labeled in each category • report content that should be labeled to bluesky and/or third parties labelers
