I've created a labeler for the game dev industry here on Bluesky, but first, it's time for a bit of tutorialisation... WTF is a labeler‽ 🧵

Hey, I did a new thing! I set up a labeller for the games industry. I've gone through a few folx that I already had on lists, but if you want one of the labels applied to you just ping the labeller and I'll get you added when I can. 😁 @ozone.birb.house

Since labelers are originally intended as moderation tools, the 3 options next to a label are for changing how the labels impact your feed. Off - badge not visible, won’t impact your feed Show - badge is visible, won’t impact your feed Hide - hide items from your feed

With the Games Industry Labeler, you never want to select Hide since it means content from those users will never show up for you (it’s essentially a mute button).

Labelers are services that can add labels to posts, accounts, and other content on Bluesky. Originally, they were designed for moderation, like flagging inappropriate or harmful content. 🚫

Labelers can also be used for vanity labels! Think of them like achievement badges for your posts. Imagine having a "Pixel Art Master" or "Indie Dev Champion" label on your profile, or labeling your devlog posts with "Bug Squashed" or "Feature Complete!" There are a lot of cool possibilities.

You can subscribe to any labeler through their profile page. Just hit the subscribe button to see any labels the labeler has applied to accounts and posts. They're also stackable, so you can mix serious moderation labelers with fun vanity ones.

Now, back to @ozone.birb.house: it's a new labeler that applies game dev industry labels to accounts. It's a great way to identify and connect with others in our industry! The current labels include: * Game Dev * Game Studio * Games Journalist * Games Podcast * Games Publication * Games Publisher
