emails citing ban reasons are rolling out
apparently it is a bannable offense to CLICK LIKE ON A POST that the bluesky moderators deem inappropriate

When it comes to handling the worst of abusive material (things like CSAM/sex crimes, terrorism, extremely graphic violence, things you wouldn't find unless you are looking) liking/sharing posts that feature it will absolutely result in action
Also, I discovered yesterday that apparently bluesky's entire content moderation team is 25 people right now, which is not enough to give individual attention to 21+ million people
So that lends to this being a growing pain rather than necessarily a new normal
I also know from having worked in that space that being a content moderator on a large social network is one of the most psychologically challenging jobs you can imagine, those folks see some awful shit
That actually makes me feel a little bit better, and I hope that they’re able to address the issues and fix the problems.
for those out of the loop, no, the people being banned have absolutely unambiguously *not* been engaging with CSAM content in any way or shape or form
It has been several hours and I have received no reply
