i’m starting to think labellers might be more powerful than blocklists. When you hit the “report” button, it gives you a workflow to report to any labeller. in fact, bluesky’s moderation service *is* a labeller

here’s a labeller for US politics
bsky.app/profile/uspo...

one thing i’m liking is that it gives you options. you can outright block a topic, or just have it do a mastodon-style CW, or keep it silent and just show labels

they’re not all about blocking. a lot of them just show visual bubbles for information

like this one, it identifies US politicians and labels where their funding comes from, both companies and industries. good to be informed

link for that last one: bsky.app/profile/us-g...

here’s a few bluesky meta labellers

this one shows new accounts, changes, etc
bsky.app/profile/prof...

this labels different kinds of bots
bsky.app/profile/bot-...

marks backdated posts, e.g. imported
bsky.app/profile/back...

there’s a more complete list here, but it’s an extremely inaccessible website. if you find a good one, please quote or reply one of these posts 🙏
