Bluesky says it's getting more aggressive about moderation and enforcement | TechCrunch

"In a new blog post, the company said it received comments from more than 14,000 community members, and that it "especially heard from community members who shared concerns about how the guidelines could impact creative expression and traditionally marginalized voices." "After considering this feedback, and in a return to our experimental roots, we are going to bring a greater focus to encouraging constructive dialogue and enforcing our rules against harassment and toxic content," the company said."

""For starters, we are going to increase our enforcement efforts." As part of that enforcement, Bluesky said that it will "more quickly escalate enforcement actions towards account restrictions." When asked for more details, a Bluesky spokesperson told TechCrunch that moving forward, users who violate the guidelines will be getting fewer warnings before their accounts are deactivated. In addition, the company will be "making product changes that clarify when content is likely to violate our community guidelines""

Bluesky updated its community guidelines after soliciting feedback from more than 14,000 community members, including concerns about impacts on creative expression and marginalized voices. The platform will emphasize constructive dialogue and step up enforcement against harassment and toxic content. Enforcement will escalate more quickly toward account restrictions, with fewer warnings before deactivation. Product changes will clarify when content is likely to violate guidelines and may provide pre-posting warnings. Decisions about bans remain contested, with complaints over suspension of accounts fundraising for Palestinians and criticism for the temporary suspension of Gretchen Felker-Martin.
