what really concerns me about this kind of automated algorithmic moderation is that it's not explicitly transparent what it means and how it reaches a decision to restrict certain content. if it's not open then how can I know I can trust it?
No I’m doing a bit!! Sorry. Just memeing.
I honestly don’t think this is auto moderated but someone on the mod team has to apply labels after an account being reported.
This is opted in by default and I’ve been swearing like a sailor since I joined and still grew a sizeable following. 💀
I think so too, I've set mine on "warn" (I'd have preferred a label so I can still know if something got tagged when I have it off) but have yet to see an account with the warning.
So it's probably for people who really go out of their way to be obnoxious rather than just casual swearing haha
I mean, I understand the moderation thing, but it's a seriously messed up moderation decision that's going to screw over marginalized people and creative folks.
idk how to feel that they got the baby rails on by default for "naughty words", not even a warning just straight up YOU SAY SWEAR WORDS? SHADOW BANNED!
"without constructive purpose" I am so curious how that's determined, why it was auto hidden, and why they didn't just let people mute swears if they don't like swearing
Fwiw, I have that set to warn and haven't seen anything tagged with it. I guess it's mainly for really nasty and obnoxious people rather than nono words.
Although more transparency and explanations would be nice from bsky.
I appreciate that there's a million settings and that you can set them however, but at the same time, I don't understand how "Warn" isn't the default for some of these and especially the rude one 😭
