This has been a big year for elections globally, and we’re a few days away from the U.S. Presidential election.

Can you also let people know that if they need help voting, encounter disinfo or voter suppression, or witness voter intimidation, they can report it to Election Protection?

You can have empathy, compassion AND skepticism.
Clearly the infrastructure is weak. Clearly it still functions if journalists can work there, under fire as they are. I don't know how to convince you that Palestinians on the English Internet are real.
Notably reporting transphobia was a coin toss. Unfortunately, it is as bad as it looks.
Thank you, Bluesky Safety Team, for these efforts.
At the end, you'll see .mostr.pub.ap.brid.gy -- which is for https://mostr.pub, the Nostr to AP bridge, and https://ap.brid.gy -- the AP to ATProto bridge. (Nostr keys also usually start with npub1.)

Remember, you can report posts to Bluesky’s moderation service for misleading and illegal/urgent content by clicking the three-dot menu on each post or account.
In Brazil we usually have an organized spread of lies in social networks. Twitter used to be a main target.
It usually starts in Twitter and someone important reverberates giving it some credibility.
Any content that encourages or glorifies intimidation or disruption in voting, tabulation, or certification will be removed.
Twitter’s policy enforcement made people delete their own violating Tweets. Does Bluesky do the removals, and if so, is there a record of them (if, say, an elected official is in violation)?
Posts with misleading claims about voting, like incorrect ID requirements or manipulated media, will be marked as misinformation.
If we can’t verify emerging reports—such as claims of long lines or incidents at specific polling stations—we’ll label them as "unconfirmed" at the time of assessment.
We’re committed to monitoring the post-election period closely to identify and address any disruptions to the peaceful transition of power.
We may roll out additional in-app interventions as needed to ensure a safe and accurate election process.
It is also possible for moderation to make a mistake.
Just to show them how it's done!
