deer.social lets you build your own web of trust with bluesky verification system. (deer.social)
 

You can select accounts to be trusted verifiers instead of relying on accounts selected by bsky, NYT or wired!

A New Form of Verification on Bluesky - Bluesky (bsky.social)
 

Outside of the top three accounts announced to be verifiers (bsky,NYT,wired), I have come across two high profile accounts with it!

Online Identity and bad faith lists! eg 'Openly Transphobic'! WHY? (corkiejp.github.io)
 

I don't get what an accounts real world reality has got to do with their online presence? It is of no concern to me what gender, race or how you identify yourself. I judge characters that I not likely to meet in real life based on the content they share and interact with it online.

Thankfully Bluesky has started to react to Bad Faith lists creators.

Moving forward, lists and starter packs with insulting profanity, slurs, abusive terms, or unproven allegations will be hidden from other users in the Bluesky app (but still visible to the creator).

OpenAI is reportedly developing its own X-like social media platform | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)
 

Question mark is anyone going to use it! Training for AI, that you hopefully can opt out of if you start using it?

Why don't moderation lists have a feed showing who you will be blocking or muting. Solution! (bsky.app)
 

Using skyfeed.app and the below list as input. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:e4elbtctnfqocyfcml6h2lf7/lists/3l53cjwlt4o2s

I turned MAGA Moderation list by ‪@skywatch.blue‬ into a feed. So you can see the content you will be blocking or muting! Maybe choose to block or add individual accounts to your own list! Using the above as an example only and just a test! It is easy to create these feed for any list/s you want.

Here is the example feed: - https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:lgjvdkqeeutvf7zj6wow3jro/feed/aaacmyy2orsms Probably will delete the above feed in a week, just using it as a test example!

Control your own moderation!

Doing the rounds now as well by Irish Media i.e. RTE & Examiner!

My approval for my account to be scrapped has been disabled since last year. Have you that setting turned off?

It will be interesting to find out, if the platform is honouring that setting. My account is protected and my last post on the platform was 2 Feb and a reply on 28th March.

Didn't know of change in the international name: -

[1] XIUC advised the DPC on 25 March 2025 that, from 1 April 2025, the name of the Irish entity and Data Controller for EU users of X would change from Twitter International Unlimited Company (‘TIUC’) to X Internet Unlimited Company as part of ongoing Twitter to X rebranding efforts.

Was just jumping on to share this glad I searched first!

Cool feature add is to change your interests you first selected when creating your account. So if your still seeing a lot of cats & dogs pictures. You can finally un-select that option.

As for chats. That is set to only receive chats from ongoing conversations for me. So don't think I will be using the react feature much.

Also on android, had to search for the update. It did not appear in apps needing to be updated!

Bookmarks! Bookmarks! ~ Known methods. (github.com)
 

Pretty new to Lemmy, so don't know if people look for Bluesky support on this? The content which I have posted a few times on Bluesky got re posted today. So I thought I would try post here as well.

One of my favourite methods is kyst.app has a DM method and webpage to see the bookmarks so cross device support. For private DM's to an alt, and I still use the 📌/ 🔖 method.
