Moderation Lists

Tips on how to detect false positives:
1. Misspellings and curse words
2. Avatar is a game, movie, cartoon character etc.
3. Has posts and replies
4. Human prosody (stuff like "....", "!!!!", "???", emoji)
5. Can make threads (reply to the own post)

I have updated this list with more efficient keywords, please share it with your friends and report them to the Bluesky Moderation Services.

Tips on how to detect Belligerent "I disagree" Bots:
1. No posts, only replies
2. Name is random letters and numbers, usually 6~10 characters long
3. Avatar is animals or objects (house, car, dog)
4. "That's a misleading claim"; "I strongly disagree"; "It's concerning"
5. Tangents off to politics

With the current political situation in the United States, we've detected more trolls that fit this Moderation List. We keep this list curated and double-check for false positives regularly.

List of Bot for Hire, they all share the bio "I am X years olf and live in Y do Descoberto".

Funny situation

*until then

I'll be working on a new list that deals with this kind of content. Until now I suggest blocking those 12 users. Be wary of extremely identical bios and users with 0 posts.

"Belligerent bots" (or famously, "I disagree" bots) are often programmed to interact with robotic timing. Notice the weirdly neat rows of likes in this example.

If you notice any user randomly disagreeing with others, run their handle in skyzoo.blue and check its activity.

Hello, in order to help curate your feeds even more, we suggest checking Skywatch Blue, a labeler service that lets you warn or hide certain content.

Using our moderation lists and this labeler service will greatly sanitize your feed, allowing to focus on the things that truly matter.

Bluesky report card. Report this user Why should this user be reviewed? "Frequently Posts Unwanted Content - Spam, excessive mentions or replies" is highlighted.

Frequently Posts Unwanted Content Spam; excessive mentions or replies Select the moderation service(s) to report to Bluesky Moderation Service Optionally provide additional information below: "spam bot"

Steps:

If you have a minute in your hands, please browse this list, click on users that haven't been labeled "Spam" yet.

Report the user: Frequently Posts Unwanted Content -> "spam bot" on the optional description. This will help the Bluesky devs to learn those bots' patterns and hopefully end this surge.

Right now a surge of spambots that post links to luxuryhousezone dot com and 3sblog dot com are proliferating, reposting the same content over and over between those accounts. We've been working hard to round them up in a moderation list. Subscribe to it to automatically block them all.

Currently we're updating the lists we currently have, but it's a possibility.

Note that I cannot add this user in any of the moderation lists in this account because my lists have very specific rules for inclusion (I don't have a list for this kind of malicious content). Please block this user manually and report them to others.

Hello, I gave this a check. It is indeed a troll account through and through, that is, they didn't change their name or handle at any point and they don't seem to be hacked since they've been posting that kind of stuff since the very start

Greetings.
I've confirmed the mistake on my part, I've fixed it right now. Thanks for notifying me and sorry for the problems that this might have caused.

Troll users are making "Is it true that I'll be banned for saying only two genders?" posts to confuse the system, so this is why the mistake has happened.

If you find more mistakes, please feel free to notify me, and I'll be fixing it as soon as possible.

Greetings.
I've checked both users @manuelfherrador.bsky.social and @beatrizalbir.bsky.social and I confirmed those were false positives. I will be fixing this immediately. Thanks for the notification.
