Probably an aggressive anti-spam measure. There is a steady stream of porn bots.

The guy I mentioned as having potentially thrown another temper tantrum targeting demographics that he openly despises exist on Bluesky is the head of T&S. If the explanation is human error due after some overlap with T&S, that really only makes

can legit confirm officially btw, they were explicitly blocked :) bsky.app/profile/skyw...

It's actually quite interesting. We know systemtic forces exist that exclude minorities, so I guess it's unsurprising that when the machine god is trained on all that data, that it functionally becomes a systemic oppressor itself, lmao

I mean even beyond the fascism it's an excuse for not giving a shit about software quality which bluesky as a company never did but at least used to employ a few trans women who used the app enough to notice bugs. I bet most of the team uses Twitter to farm aura off ai chuds more than their own app.

This really needs an answer. This is at least the second time Bluesky has implemented things that appear to target adult creators. We have filters for a bizarre number of types of nudity but none solely for violence or disturbing content. This sure feels like they’d like us gone.

Hopefully just something to do with the feature not being finished and making sure it doesn't show up for people that specifically opted out of adult content or for users that are verified as minors. That being said, with their previous track record I'm not going to automatically give them grace.

Total waste of time - doesn't work (or even findable!). Stick to implementing simple stuff that works. KISS: Keep It Simple, Stu▪︎▪︎▪︎

Glad is fixed and all but like... do you really think anyone believes a word? "Accidentally"? lmaoooo

👁️ Happy for the reversal but I am afraid that past lapses leave it hard to immediately believe the BlueSky team when you say it's a miscommunication.

Suuuuuure it was accidental. For sure dude, it was all a miscommmunication. Mhmm, I believe that. Yep, suuuuure do.

I *think* the part where it was also blocking link shorteners/redirects might have been intentional? To protect from phishing?

Do you really expect people to believe this?

As happy as I am about this being fixed, what has happened that this "internal miscommunication" has happened as it did? The original code was explicit about what domains, sites to block, and we genuinely feared the worst.

you literally keep dropping the ball on the same things

5 hours since I linked this (and seven since the post I linked was made) and not a single response (much less an explanation) for what’s being asked here. Pretty telling, imo.

Ok, what’s your excuse as to why it’s impossible for anyone from Bluesky to give an answer (much less an explanation) to this question?

Thanks man.

Hey! I saw that you can add links to profiles in labelers accounts just in the same way as regular accounts but they don't show up! Idk if I should maybe open a Github issue/discussion to fix that or it's intended. Could be useful to link a website with extended details about the labels or something

And I’ve seen a lot of lawsuits and conversations about how collective bullying has caused teens to commit suicide and commit murder. Countless examples of radicalization and encouragement of violence towards themselves and others at a young age. Has been since MySpace.

tbh I think we see way more issues with seniors on social media than minors

are there plans to let users self-label their links like you can with posts? in the lexicon for link records i see an entry for something like this but i don't see any option for it in the regular app

u could test it. put on adult account, check with one after changing settings

It could be an idea for profile links to display them when hidden under a "more links" dialog if interstitials for all links isn't on the cards.

For unverified UK users, though, we don't seem to be able to set any links at all.

According to @attie.ai , 66 accounts currently have links to steady.page in their profiles. So it's not just me.

"accidentally"

Has the precise nature of that "internal miscommunication" been publicly articulated anywhere? Or evidence that the inclusion of adult-oriented platforms in `BLOCKED_DOMAINS` was "accidental", especially in light of the public code repository suggesting it was conscious & explicit?

also how come the link settings are age restricted? doesnt make much sense lol 💀💀

"accidentally"

That's a very specific set of things to disallow.
