- 1/6 We're seeing an uptick in scams pretending to be Bluesky or @aaron.bsky.team. These scammers are targeting artists via DMs, trying to take you off-app. Our moderation team is reviewing reports of these scammers and will take down their accounts. Here are some important reminders:Mar 28, 2025 17:34
- 2/6 We never charge money for moderation decisions. Anyone claiming otherwise is trying to scam you.
- 3/6 We never discuss moderation decisions in a separate Discord channel or other apps. You can submit reports in the Bluesky app, or via email to moderation@blueskyweb.xyz.
- 4/6 We never ask for your password, and you shouldn't share it with anyone else.
- 5/6 Never change the email on your account to one you don't control. Someone can then request a password reset to that email and take over your account. Additionally, verify your account email if you haven’t already. Settings > Account > Email.
- 6/6 We only communicate moderation decisions via email, not via DMs. If anyone messages you claiming this, please report them as spam in the app.
- List makers are ruining this platform. It's so open to abuse and so many accounts are set up not to add to the experience here they are organized and targeting abuse. Many have zero followers, zero posts but have put thousands of your users on lists to be blocked. Safety isn't protecting us.
- Just a clarification: a moderation list is effective only for people using it; so an account with no follower will have no traction, no-one will use the lists therefore no blocking happens. PS: I find list makers quite unique &positive to BlueSky, so long as you accept shit happens (+you can report)
