- We list accounts that frequently post media they did not create because they: 1. obscure sources and steal viewership from creators 2. pollute content ecosystems with redundancy 3. are associated with follow or engagement farming, which often fuels misinformation and fear
- We will be looking into this next year 👀
- Because @labeler.hailey.at is fairly low stakes and is merely a community tool (not something we run in production), I've gone ahead and made the ruleset that drives it public. Hopefully serves as a good reference for writing Osprey rules.
- Very interesting read; we hadn’t considered how we might use our eventual labeler service to redirect users to the original source of content. This seems like a “community notes” sort of service though. Nevertheless we are very keen to get a labeler up to mark posts and accounts reposting content.
- Users of @skylight.social, @flashes.blue @skeetsapp.com — as @graze.social becomes available in-app, keep our moderation lists in mind! Follow us for updates as we outline a new framework for our lists and moderation services. We will solicit feedback before moving forward with any changes too.
- Stay tuned for improvements 🫡 We want to empower users with agency and enable developers to more readily help users achieve this.
- New domain handle. Felt this one from @handles.club was fitting. 🫡
- FAQ: Why is SkySentry not in the good moderation lists list? We are not confident the lists are not being misused for personal grievances. Decide for yourself if it’s still worth using after reading the post below and others found by searching “SkySentry”

That doesn’t seem long enough so we’re going to keep writing until we reach what seems like it’s definitely more than 300
- FAQ: Why is the trans labeler (by Asuka) not in the good labelers list? We are not confident the labeler and its associated lists are not being misused for personal grievances (in addition to its intended services). Decide for yourself if it’s still worth using after reading top threads below:
- test posts on this account with be marked with #testpost. mute this term to hide the noise. otherwise, this account hosts moderation lists to help make your social media experience more social. this is an anonymous account because some users added to lists will harass the list creator.
- Before using any moderation list (from this account or another), check whether accounts you may want to see are on it. Note if you subscribe, NEW USERS added to the list will also be blocked or muted. So, we recommend muting unless you have a strong reason to mass block. 1/4
