Signed.

You shouldn't be able to avoid following the Community Guidelines just because you're a "big name."

That's two-tiered moderation. One rule for "important" people, and different rules for the rest of us.

Sounds like Twitter.

Normally I do a lot of plugs of starter packs and whatnot for #FollowFriday #FF. Given Bluesky's current moderation/safety issues, I'm gonna just plug one this morning.

Here are some folks with T&S experience and/or good moderation lists whom I appreciate on here. go.bsky.app/FqxkX2f

Oops, didn’t see that you beat me to it!

In case you are still looking, I believe it’s clearsky.app

Thanks! I’m interested in the technical stuff (not that you have to get into it here).

Are there any heuristics that are good to know?

When I block someone that already followed me, they are still following me per my followers count. I would guess blocking them means they have no way to unfollow me. This seems like a flaw that could be exploited to make an account look legit/large by locking in followers. Is this a thing?

Please let me know if you find a labeler that does this!

Hello, World!

Side note: been thinking that a labeler using WHOIS data could do some simple checks. Helps with transparency if nothing else.

This is a step in the right direction for sure!

We need trustworthy visual verification. People don’t look carefully at domain names (see every phishing scam ever).

Also must make sure it’s accessible for people using screen readers.
