Bluesky's Moderation Architecture | Bluesky
Moderation is a crucial aspect of any social network. However, traditional moderation systems often lack transparency and user control, leaving communities vulnerable to sudden policy changes and potential mismanagement. To build a better social media ecosystem, it is necessary to try new approaches.

Bluesky’s Stackable Approach to Moderation - Bluesky
Today, we’re open sourcing Ozone, a tool that lets a team of moderators or curators collaboratively review reports, create labels, and inspect content on the atproto network. Later this week, we’re opening up the ability for users to run their own independent moderation services.
Bluesky and the AT Protocol: Usable Decentralized Social Media
Bluesky is a new social network built upon the AT Protocol, a decentralized foundation for public social media. It was launched in private beta in February 2023, and has grown to over 10 million registered users by October 2024. In this paper we introduce the architecture of Bluesky and the AT Protocol, and explain how the technical design of Bluesky is informed by our goals: to enable decentralization by having multiple interoperable providers for every part of the system; to make it easy for users to switch providers; to give users agency over the content they see; and to provide a simple user experience that does not burden users with complexity arising from the system's decentralized nature. The system's openness allows anybody to contribute to content moderation and community management, and we invite the research community to use Bluesky as a dataset and testing ground for new approaches in social media moderation.
Beyond moderation: labelers for security/safe browsing, existing services to use · bluesky-social atproto · Discussion #1595
So far, much of the conversation around third party labelers has focused on content moderation. That's an important first use case, but obviously not the only one. We talked a bit about the dow...

I love to see when a *.host.bsky.network (mushroom PDS) user is informed in a nice, polite way about how the AT Protocol works and why it's awesome.
Hey interoperability nerds: I need a word for actors in distributed social media systems that provide content moderation services. Blockparty is an example. Bluesky labelers and algorithm providers are examples. Blacksky is an example because of its content rules (but having a PDS doesn't matter).
