v1.111 is live today! We've upgraded our Age Assurance system to comply with upcoming laws in Australia and other regions, and to restore access to people over 18 in Mississippi. Plus, we fixed some bugs and laid the groundwork for improved "who to follow" suggestions in the near future.

GIFs in DMs when? I will not use this platform regularly until that is a feature. That's why my friends and I normally DM on Discord. 90% of my usage on Twitter was through DM to friends, using it like a texting program.

One off your Age Comply is with a credit card number as if we are stupid enough to give our credit card number over the internet where scammer's can have fun Bluesky consider your opptions you never gie creadit card details over the internet where scammer's pray like hawks .

Age controls without proper is control is just bound to fail… Its even something courts struggle with doing reliably in-person, so doing it digitally will probably fail epically. The only solution is to demand proper identification…

A year ago Rose Wang said that within a year there would be a way for Blueskiers to make money, like tip jar button or something. Where's that at? People have been going other places. Y'all gotta come out with things quicker.

What laws in Australia? Are you anticipating laws, and unilaterally increasing surveillance on your site? That's pretty shit of you. Shameful? Disgusting? Repulsive? Pathetic? Weak? Grotesque? Infantile? Cowardly? Sad? Not sure...

Nice to see it's not just me.....🤷‍♀️😕 I would like to see them display the ACTUAL NUMBER👍 Such a great place to gather with like minded people from around the world 👍 🤔🦋💙🌊🐸 Still working out the bumps 👍

We don’t, we also don’t want to risk our identity and privacy being compromised when these systems inevitable fail, “Age Assurance” protects no one, it just creates a massive vulnerability that WILL be exploited, whether by criminals or oppressive governments. Or both.

bbc.comID photos of 70,000 users may have been leaked, Discord says - BBC NewsThe platform says hackers targeted a firm that helped to verify the ages of its users.

Age Assurance hits EVERYBODY. I notice you don’t show your face in your profile. So which would you surrender to keep using this platform – face, credit card details or government-issued ID?

That sounds quite useful, but I don't think there's a similar service in Australia as banking and credit services have strict ID requirements. Would be happy to find out otherwise from anybody else reading this.

And it's not even about the children, but to establish censorship tools - once your identity is verified, it can be used against you (e.g. retaliation for something you said, or bc you belong to an oppressed minority) (Scroll QP up for a link - rah is a T&S expert of 23+ years experience)

Remember: You can't force a site or service to treat minors differently than adults without requiring EVERY USER to establish whether they're an adult. Which is, inherently, a deanonymization mandate, because to verify age, you must verify identity.

How about keeping me where I left off so I can scroll forward in time and not have to go to most recent and scroll back in time. Totally ruins sports. This is a major sports twitter advantage that is probably keeping people away from here

I know who to follow. I don't need an algorithm to tell me who it thinks I should follow. Step up your moderation and fix what's broken before getting innovative with stuff no one asked for.

YES PLEASE! Plus what's happening w/ the NOTIFICATIONS? Mine have been stuck on "1" for 2days.. but when I hit the bell button I see WAY MORE in my NOTIFICATIONS but only see the #1 & while you're working on that can't that # reflect the ACTUAL # you have? not just 30+ show 27 or 146🤷‍♀️🤔👍🦋 💙🌊🐸

Same... I sent a few messages to tech support... hoping they will fix this silly issue🤷‍♀️🤔 I like to build up my NOTIFICATIONS until the end of the day.. so I can answer posts altogether but this..🤯 it's giving me a complex. LOL🥴5 hrs later & only 1 shows up.. ACK! Just fix it, or give us an update!

Could we please get the ability to FOLLOW A POST (i.e., get notified of its replies)? This seems easy to implement and super useful!

Gro-Tsen@gro-tsen.bsky.social

Please, @bsky.app @support.bsky.team, could we have the option to 👉 follow a post 👈 (i.e. receive its replies as notifications) just like we can follow a user? 🙏 It seems both highly logical and super useful (when sbd asks an interesting question). Or is there a workaround that achieves this?

I know you are probably all around 23, but your month-by-month age-setting widget is pretty tedious for older users - some way of setting the year first would be welcome

Thought about Bluesky Requiring age ids, One of the options is photo id, but here's the issue, I could, for free, make like 30 picture of some old person that would look extremely realistic. you cant really stop that... I have repeated myself elsewhere.

Interesting take. Leads to some questions. First, what if I don't want to share my age, as that is another way to trace me back to my actually identity. most people want animosity on social media, like me. Why not just set up better filtering? it would displease less people. clearly...

Really, you've got more bugs to fix. Even when a birthdate is entered the system discriminates between password and application password when using your official app. It treats all logins like separate accounts. I'm neither in Mississippi or Australia but still got your birthday prompt.

Hi @bsky.app, if we have our own node being hosted and domain can we be exempt for further age consent would prefer not sharing my Personal Private Identifiable details when I have a domain and site hosted that already requires me above the age of 16?

Yeah, UK stuff has been super picky lately. A VPN really helps I just hop to a region where none of that ID/card mess pops up, and it all goes through fine. If you want, I can tell you what setup’s been working for me.

Australia? now how are you going to comply with other countries? Regardless, where I am from the minimum age is 18... however, you platform, your choice, but perhaps if you DO mention countries - actually nvm this will make sense...

Your safety manager mocked a woman for rightfully being angry at ICE for taking her husband btw bsky.app/profile/jame...

jess m. ☕🍂@jametc.bsky.social

our bluesky safety manager replied with this to a woman venting after ICE kidnapped her husband, and then banned her. How do we trust this person to have the empathy needed to be in charge of safety on this website? what the fuck? if we spam the feedback, it might get somewhere @safety.bsky.app

No one cares about age assurance (verification) nor we asked for it, we asked for fix the moderation in the settings, edit button, remove a follower, add more than 300 character and so on. 💢

How am I to trust that you'll keep people's identification info safe. Do you have the most secure servers on planet earth completly unable to breached? No. No you don't. I don't trust you or any other company to not leak countless ID's when mere passwords can't be kept 100% secure
