Bluesky CEO posting on Bluesky : “update: we are debugging our political hate group labeler. once it’s working, if you set your moderation settings to “hide”, it will be hidden.” She attached a screenshot of a yet-to-be-released muting tool in the app that will allow to mute certain types of account. Among which: “political hate groups”, “impersonation”, “violent / bloody”, nudity, etc.

So, Bluesky’s CEO Jay Graber is saying that they’re going to “label” political hate groups, supposedly to make it easy for users to hide them.
What this means first and foremost: hate groups, fascists and their friends are welcome to set up camp on Bluesky, and they *won’t* get banned.
But hey, that’s ok if they’re getting labeled, right? 🙃
Bluesky is just another hate speech platform in the making (if that’s not already the case). Let’s not feed the hype.
