Bluesky Overhauls Community Guidelines and Policies

Bluesky is implementing comprehensive updates to its policies and community guidelines, driven by global regulations and user feedback, with a focus on improving user safety, clarity, and community standards.

Key Takeaways

  • New guidelines organized around four principles: Safety First, Respect Others, Be Authentic, and Follow the Rules

  • Introduces an informal dispute resolution process, allowing direct phone conversations to resolve user conflicts

  • Addresses previous moderation challenges by providing more detailed policies on content moderation, hate speech, and user conduct

Curious if Product Hunt could learn anything from their principles... 🤔

I think what allows product hunt to be Web 2.0 and work without a lot of tools is the community understands itself. It hasn’t exploded to all makers and creators he noise is low. Small can be beautiful but I often do want more of my friends on here

I've proposed to @rajiv_ayyangar to adopt ActivityPub or ATProto on several occasions. It could do wonders for audience development and distribution, as @Ghost has demonstrated.

Alas.
