Heads up, Bluesky has a new update that automatically toggles off all "adult content," forcing you to re-enable it to see anything. Probably just an oversight, still annoying as hell.
Check your content filtering in the moderation settings!
Is this actually new?
I find it convenient because i can turn off that toggle (e.g. if im in public) and turn it on again later and it remembers my settings.
I think it's a good and safe idea, new users specially young people could see adult content so easily and might get shocked, so toggling off by default is a nice move from Bluesky
Found it after a minute but it says I can only toggle those particular settings via the browser version of Bsky. I understand we’re still getting the closed beta experience but the additional steps feel redunant
They added so you have to input your birth date to see adult content, which is actually a great idea, so I'm glad they did this. Not sure how effective it'll be, but at least it's a good step.
Their process for making changes seems to be to just do whatever the dev reckons feels like a good idea in the moment rather than like planning and thinking about it.
I know, it's like, really inconvenient to have to toggle a setting. Seriously though, there are a lot of people who would pick a fight with BluSky over notional underage users seeing adult content, so it makes sense to work around that. It would have also made sense to notify users - didn't they?
It probably happened because they finally fixed showing Adult content on iOS in this update.
Probably an oversight in implementation,but they actually improved things (I even wrote a ticket for this)
Wait did they finally fix those? People who’ve been here a while don’t seem to understand but those switches have been broken for months now… if you didn’t toggle them before then, you never could
I think it's perfect to have it automatically off. might be annoying for users who had it on, but for new users, younger or older, they can choose to enable it (or leave it disabled if they're a minor). it's safer that way.
I have no idea how long this will take to rectify, but until it does I can't see most of the artists I follow due to the moderation settings reverting back to "hide" every time I change it! It was fine before they updated to 1.49.0 ☹
This is both desktop and mobile.
following „enable“ you have to check every field separately (my setting is now „warn“ for all of them, in order to watch how the filtering will be working)
