Community will be at the core of a decentralized social network blue skyAnd his Safety and moderation It will be based on a set of tools that give managers and users control over the continuity of their posts and replies and tag-based content filters.
Bluesky shares the general lines guiding its moderation tools, whereby they seek to “take into account how social spaces are formed and shaped by communities”.
Communities take the leadThey reject the possibility that security rests in the hands of each individual, as they understand that a common space like this decentralized social network “needs to have some kind of structure that protects the people who participate.” So take care of it yourself.”
Its purpose is to create user groups and communities That they can help each other, And to reinforce this idea, they shared from Bluesky On his blog A series of proposals for what their moderation tools would be.
The community is at their fingertips List of usersIt can be used to create walls of publications, show social relationships between users or create their own communities.
Further A set of responsive controlsTo manage who can respond to a publication, it is possible to block certain users, and in more extreme cases, the social network thinks about the rating of texts. Deleting a reply, hiding it, or preventing replies from being added to a subthread, especially when the discussion escalates in tone.
Bluesky also proposes Labeling restrictions, To block, hide or warn about certain content Using labels, the possibility to report infringing content and users to self-label their publications, for example, to warn of ‘spoilers’ or adult content. Not all labels have the same purpose, but are used according to the action they want to achieve: hide, minimize, warn, advise, and show.
Those in charge of the social network consider content control through a label filter to be “the difference between a great social network and a terrible one.” GitHub page Dedicated to this topic.
