"The social-media service Bluesky has announced it has surpassed 40 million registered users and is introducing a new "dislike" button in beta, marking a significant step in how it will personalize user experiences and moderate content. According to the company, the new signal is intended to allow users to express what they prefer not to see and help the platform learn what kinds of posts to deprioritize."
"The "dislike" button, introduced in this beta version, functions as a feedback mechanism rather than a public-facing negative vote. According to the company, when a user clicks "dislike," the system will register a signal meant to inform feed ranking and discovery algorithms about the sorts of posts the user wants shown less often. It is not positioned as a punitive metric."
Bluesky has surpassed 40 million registered users, reflecting growth and increased scale for platform features. The service is beta-testing a private 'dislike' button that records user feedback to guide feed ranking and discovery algorithms. The dislike signal is not a public negative vote or punitive metric; it is used privately to deprioritize content users prefer not to see and to refine content presentation. The signal will also influence reply-thread ranking and discovery placements. The dislike button is part of broader updates aimed at improving reply quality, ordering of conversations, and reducing unwanted or low-quality content in feeds.
