I am happy to say the "Followers only" reply setting is getting implemented. We're also adding a way to set default reply settings
If you want your posts to default to "Followers only," that'll become an option

Stay healthy everyone, love yall
Their power would be unimaginable!
* timeouts - like a soft block for a week
* option to approve new followers (and if I dont after a week, it means "nope")
* remove followers (oh hey, they are a creepy bot after all! yuk!)
I'm thinking you can block them and move on, or ignore them. If you make them unfollow, they probably can either follow again, or read you anyway.
If you don't want them to read then blocking is a good option. Am I missing something?
Unless I'm missing a bit of how this "make them unfollow me" works and they really can't tell.
Once blocked, they don't exist to you.
Also, if they know they followed you and get a follow button again, they also see what you did.
Maybe you want a "ghost" button, for lack of better word.
Like to their eyes you "left the platform".
Also on several blocked lists…just placed on the “Blockenheimer” list this morning, or some such nonsense. Mostly it’s just these idjits who think if your numbers are too high, you should be blocked. Makes zero sense.
My timeline is the reading list I choose
Not a random spewing of everything
Automatic followback would be "collecting" since anyone can follow me
Chip also want healthcare
When you post something, you want to have your voice heard by the maximum number of people.
The more people that read and interact, the better informed we all are .
I mean "no porn" is in their bio 😅
And yeah, people should tag their stuff properly as sexual or lewd content. Most people do though.
90% of the people I block is BECAUSE they tried to follow me🤣
People may then ask, "What are you even saying? Regex?"

(This is an old debate. Editing posts will allow the author to completely change the meaning of a post that I shared, or that I liked, I don’t want to share stuff that might say the opposite of what I wanted to share).
Maybe limiting it to only 10% of characters.

An edit history works for slow content.
This is a platform of fast content.
10 minutes is an eternity.
Replace 10 minutes by X that will change accordingly the number of followers, shares, likes and interactions.
Yesterday I replied with a photo that I realised it wasn't the correct only when you liked it. After I had to delete it and replace with the appropriate one.
Is followers only post viewing on the list for later? I think it's badly needed. Sometimes you just wanna talk to your peeps, yaknow?
We have to upgrade the protocol to control who can see, so that'll be further out
Really grateful that bsky exits rn.
Good luck!
Please advise
This feature, as well as a similar one to determine who can quote the posts will be great (I guess the modules can be tied up)
C'mon for God's sake! This shouldn't be hard!
At least PRETEND like you care.
Thanks so much for this.
Hit those thre dots ("...") in the bottom right of the post and Mute Thread.
We miss Kit ❤️
Great stuff just keeps coming
💥It's never been more critical to keep re-posting facts & truth, esp in replies; to combat fascist propaganda & lies for citizens.
🚨With no reliable mass media, Social Media users post & reply often to get word out on civic actions & protests.

NB metadata would still be public - which is necessary for followers' feed, etc to work.
What I don’t get is, if private data isn’t possible yet, how do direct messages (or “chats”) work? I know they’re not E2E, but are they also quietly public?
Sometimes there are accounts we don’t want following without having to Block them.
Clearsky shows who we block & then these accounts add us to bogus Block lists in retaliation.
Great news!
I sometimes use 'hide reply for everyone', but this is definitely something I am going to use. I like being in control 😁
👀 @mikelnhao.bsky.social
1) bookmark posts
2) save unsent posts to drafts
hopefully you can implement this soon...
and thanks for providing a sane alternative to the bird..
Or something else?
You will always offend someone. The people who keep getting offended as a personality feature do not deserve to be connected to you anyway.
https://github.com/bluesky-social/proposals/issues/36
But I've seen on Clearsky that the accounts and abusive lists get moderated.
When someone's included in an offensive list, should have be a way to correct it cause trolls learned how to use lists for bad way too.

I have been placed on a list of "fake progressives" when I am nothing of the sort.
I can only assume it's being done by conservatives to reduce the reach and impact of genuine progressives.
If I’m blocked, I should be completely blocked.
but who is this weird multivers guy, and why are the bluesky animated gifs flooded with his face? i tried to reach out to tenor and report and flag those gifs, but its getting worse and worse, he seems to be spamming tenor with more gifs all day every day
if tenor cant fix this, would it be possible to let us build our own customized GIF drawer? let us select our FAV gifs and they show up at the top or another tab?
seems tenors reporting and moderation system... doesnt actually do anything?
And to be honest, it is not a bad idea.

What I'd really like though, is Bookmarks.
check #feeds and look for the one that looks like a 📌
But I can't figure out where to find that post. there doesn't seem to be anything that looks like that when I click on #feeds
What am I not understanding please?
On a phone, it will show up on the top bar
1. Locked- no one can reply
2. Followed- only ppl who the author has decided is worth receiving regular posts from can reply
3. Open- any non blocked fly b6 nit wit can reply
And you object to 4. Followers- only ppl who have decided to receive regular posts
Do not underestimate the piss-off potential of minor annoyances repeated many times a day.
Limiting replies is cool and I'm glad it's being implemented but limiting -visibility- is incredibly important
I prefer Masto for the quality of engagement (decentralized).
I prefer BlueSky for the quantity of engagement (bigger).
Right now if you don’t want to block them permanently, just remove them as a follower, the easiest way is to go to their profile, block them, and then unblock them.
It will just unblock them and apparently the “follow” part is a setting on their profile. …
I apologize for the confusion.

I’m pretty sure I managed to do this before, but apparently it doesn’t work (anymore?).

I have never had any social media accounts of any kind. It's hard to believe but it's the truth. I had young kids so never found the time.
I joined after the election to smite musk lol. Glad I did.
In the months I’ve been here, I haven’t seen 1 post from at least 700 followers that I also follow…and yes, they’ve been posting.
But if you want a closed conversation, why do it on THE WORLDWIDE WEB?
Too many bots and questionable profiles on here.
Will there be a "turn off reposts" feature coming at some point?
I hope we also get a "remove follower" sometime, cause man I hate blocking out of "not enough info on if bot or just bot looking real person".
(i do hope that either setting can be made sticky)
That said, there are numerous "followers" (for no good intent, bots etc.) that I would like to switch off following. (As opposed to blocking, i.e. they could still view/respond.)
I don’t believe there’s the capability to prevent or “approve” people to follow you. That would be a nice feature.

I don't agree to just agree. I give my opinion.
Either you love me or hate me. There is no middle ground. I speak my mind. This seems to piss a lot of people off 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
I spent 29 years in social science research. I'm very analytical. I try to see the big picture and not act with just emotion.
After I block them, they'll appear under a different name. BLOCK
Set up a feed with the pin 📌 as header.
Then any post you want to bookmark just put a 📌 in the replies.
How are we approaching SEO?
That’s been the game changer for Reddit and X
I want my social networks to be a place to socialize, not to spend all the fucking time advocating against being extinct.
This one’s interesting - not sure how it’ll work. Essentially, anyone can follow you but it may act as a “soft barrier” to replies if they need to do so.
And if they unfollow after, does that then hide their reply?
To keep from being influenced by the count
I do like how you can choose video or photo, makes finding things a lot easier.
@pfrazee.com - When will Bluesky be allowing emoji reactions to messages in DMs, image sharing in DM, or enabling group chat?
Appreciate all the work you and the team are investing in building out this platform.
Thank you seems insufficient, but thank you to all of you nonetheless.
Why can't you do more to combat the massive bot population here?
Most are still in "nice" infiltrator mode, wait til they sell to the Muskholes.
We need groups and sub-groups desperately. We need the tools to organize!

1) All posts "followers only".
2) Option to choose for each post whether openly public or followers only.
How does that increase their exposure?
Doesn't this just serve to help people stay in a bubble?
hi reply, insert the emoji and you can search for all the posts with the pin reply
But I would really like to lock out new followers.
Just sayin' ... 'cause I believe we need to build a strong community. 😃
BTW - we follow each other ... you often post very intriguing comments & insights. Thanks! 😎
Has that idea been brought up at all?
It’s really inconvenient to have troll followers that have the “right” to irritate! I block, but another way to get rid of them is necessary!🔥
However,
WE WANT AN EDIT BUTTON!!!!!
You go back the next day and the word “don’t” is removed. Totally changes the context of the post - and now you are connected to it.
Maybe compromise; editing is only available if not liked, commented on or shared?
The edits were considered a new tweet with any quote tweets mentioning “this tweet has been edited” and when tapped redirected to the edit
The original tweet is then locked from engagement with a message “this tweet has been updated”. Edit history is also there
https://bsky.app/profile/moderately-grouchy.bsky.social/post/3lhk4c5m3m22a
can we please get edit and bookmark functions now too?
i’ve seen a lot of ppl i follow wish they could block their posts from appearing in the discover feed. would that be possible eventually?
