The new community guidelines are highly censorious. You should be concerned about user drop off if these rules do apply. Can you please amend your community guidelines to allow role playing, creative/artistic expression and remove anything about “promoting unsafe behavior?” Intent is not obvious.

Do not violate anyone's privacy or share their personal information. 2. Respect Others. We do not allow content that promotes or that is hate speech, harassment, bullying, or discrimination. 3. Be Authentic. We do not allow content intended to misrepresent, defraud, trick, deceive, or mislead. 4. Follow the Rules. We do not allow content that is illegal. This includes content that is prohibited by laws about online content, intellectual property, copyright, trade, commerce, cybersecurity, data protection. Do not try to avoid our moderation controls, either. If you violate these Guidelines, we may hide, remove or label your content, or we may suspend or terminate your account, permanently ban you from the platform, or-in extreme cases make a report to the appropriate authorities. 2.

fwiw this is what I submitted, but please don't just take my word for it and see what you think of the guidelines for yourself
I have concerns over the possible restriction and banning of certain content depicting fictional characters. There is some language within the guidelines that either seems to indicate this will be the case or is ambiguous enough to be interpreted this way. As an example, guideline 2.C.ii. states that depictions of violence and sensitive topics in art and fiction are permissible unless they glorify harm. However, if the harm being depicted only affects fictional people, this is not something that should be restricted. A rule like this could be understood to mean that anything from artistic gore to fandom "whump" to discussion of popular violent action movies would violate these terms. There is similar unclear and concerning language in various places throughout the text. Guideline 5 is another prominent example, stating in 5.A.ii.d. that users must not share "real or SYNTHETIC intimate images or sexual content" (emphasis mine). This seems to imply that creative works containing sexual content are not allowed, even if they and the people depicted are entirely fictional. Guideline 5.B.i. further specifies that "consensual adult content" is allowed. Does it then follow that purely fictional art or creative writing that includes non-consensual sexual contact between imaginary characters would be in violation of the Community Guidelines? If this is the case, I strongly object to this kind of censorship and overreach, as it's neither illegal nor harmful to share this type of content when properly labeled, and I disagree with the need for Bluesky to restrict posts of this nature.

Does fatal vore art glorify violence/harm?

Does a slasher movie glorify violence/harm?

Does an action movie glorify violence/harm?

Does the video game Doom glorify violence/harm?

What's the actual standard here?
