In rare cases, we may need to open your DMs to investigate broader patterns of abuse, such as spam or coordinated harassment. Rest assured this would only be done when absolutely necessary to keep Bluesky safe, and access is extremely limited and tracked.

1/4 📸 We want to share an important update about image labeling on Bluesky. Every image posted is initially reviewed by an automated system that checks for adult content, graphic imagery, and more. The system then applies labels to flag sensitive content, which human moderators can review.
