We’re triaging this large queue so the most harmful content such as CSAM is removed quickly.
Down with the adversaries of open society, those who would clog the air waves with noise and trash to disturb the public. The act of demonspawn spreading bedlam!
Thank you, tip of the spear against demons, thank you thank you thank you & I'm sorry.

This is one thing they did NOT do on X-Twitter. Constantly had to make the same Community Notes to the same posts. Was exhausting.

Was a moderator on X-Twitter. That was practically the idea with Community Notes and it failed miserable. They didn't care if their post was moderated, they only claimed they were being silenced for telling the truth. Endlessly we moderated the same posts.

Our team is reviewing these accounts, and you can help us by reporting them by clicking the three-dot menu on each post/account.
It’s the same handle, so they might be deleting and re-making the same account?
With all of us coming.... All the bots, stalkers, Russian trolls, maga cultists and assorted legions of Far Right and Far Left agitators will not be far behind us.
I didn't know protocol, so I simply blocked the offender...
Sorry...
What happens if you hold a genuine difference in opinion to someone else but they report you as trolling them for expressing said opinion?
Would the person being reported still get into trouble or not?

I needed that laugh.

I haven't reported anything yet, but I have hit the three dots & clicked to please hide this post.
Is that causing the staff extra work?
I just just gone "ick" and done it, figuring it might train the machine.
Sex bots, fake lottery winners and foreign country refugee posts begging for donations are what I see., However, the people here are very civil and courteous.
Fake lottery winners abound.
Refugee families from foreign countries are relentlessly asking for donations.
Trash has come from X
X(Formerly Twitter) banned the N word which is awesome because of kids that are 13 to 17 years old or older
Please do the same thing
Click on the "Follow" - you will get immediate response ie "unfollowed".
There is mechanical use in formalized environments with high granularity for interpretation, but only as a conflict reduction tool.
There is clearly still a demand for this type of platform.
But the people who used Twitter to hurt others are all going to come here eventually.
We gotta kick them out! 😅
The best thing is that I’ve had no reason to report a single post.
Keep up the good work 😊
we know you'll do it that's what counts
Just sayin'.
I like social media. I just won't pay for irresponsible social media (like the bird site).
I've also had extensive experience with the EU's DSA requirements over the past year and have effectively handled large amounts of sensitive and explicit content during my time moderating at Yelp and other large brand channels.
Hope you don't blow it like the last platform did. 😅

Do not underestimate the importance of moderating.
We love you, bluesky team :).
May I ask, there's no ads or anything, I know you guys gotta pay the bills somehow.
Any insight on to what's to come?
Tbh, I'd be willing to pay a monthly fee like.. $1-5 a month if it keeps this platform clean.
These are the very people complaining about the toxicity on X.
Nothing in my comments suggest my race, or if I'm a Nazi or a troll.
I've called out a few of them for such behaviour.
One of the radical changes gave him the right to sue over posts, and all arbitration would be done only in a deep-MAGA court in TX.
We love you.
Sorry about all the swearwords I use
Look at Reddit - all its communities were community moderated and you have numerous examples of moderators becoming petty kings of their own tiny domains.
It was inevitable that trolls, spammers, scammers and arse holes would come here. The unprecedented growth rate is going to be a challenge, but I am sure they will keep on top of it.
Meta’s own AI answered this, so I figured it was safe to put on my resume. 🤭
Happy to speak more here! 👇

Thank you, soulless corporate overlords, for making that happen x
Once you've escaped from hell, you appreciate it all the more!🫡🦋🫡

That doesn't stop me blocking anyone just causes a minor irritation each time.
Seems people FOLLOW just to bag followers. They have no connection at all to my profile or reason to follow me. Have blocked many who are obviously trolls. Or whatever they should be called. That is very annoying.
Keep up the GREAT job!
reported alot of them today

I assume there is no need for further explanation.
So please get ready and ask for our help.
Thank you !
>influx of CP reports on this platform
Hmm…
* THEY as in TwitterNazis.
and thanks to (almost) everyone for being so civil! ✌️
Do we have to block everyone we don't know who follows us instead of just having a "remove" option?
Thank you kindly for any help.
And thank you for this app.
Please don't EVER sell this to a billionaire!!
I left Twitter a long time ago. Too much hate.
I'm grateful to be here.
Thank you again for helping me.
Bookmarks now, please

To grow with you
We appreciate your
Candor transparency
And endeavoring to
Make this such a
Pleasant experience
For everyone
That's my second block here so far; the first was a spam bot. Still exponentially better than Twitter. 😁
Sorry they treated you like that when you're trying to save lives. I'm hoping for karma for them, soon.
You just decide for yourself what you want to see. Some people love arguing/conflict, but I'm not one of them. 🙂
I need mom friends who don’t mind an Fbomb or two.
We're a lot.
But we're pretty nice. ✌️
Oh yeah, and give yourself some grace... remember the hellscape from whence many of us came.
Vigilant babysteps. With our appreciation♡

I'd would be great if he was found out. Because I've had enough of his defamation.
I can’t wait til y’all turn 23 and read a book
Here's the thing, too: Every single one of my tweets to @safety.bsky.app — without exception — has been positive.
Welcome to you all.
vendrán muchos seremos legión.
Thanks and pls keep your good work !!
Are you able to update us on this please?
My visual on your current status:
Good positivity here!
But there’s not a page that has Sports Scores - like Twitter, yet. Right?
Or send any Starter Packs - I’ll take a look.
Thanks. 🙏

Thank you Bluesky! You’re a safe haven!
Wait I'll try again now.
Maybe it will work.
I'll make a screenshot.
Breathe...
I understand WHY they got the name skeets - In response to a toxic former employee begging for them not to be called that
But blegh. Flutters way better
Thanks Bluesky☀️
