According to Bluesky, the size of its community has doubled over the past year, growing to 40 million users worldwide. To accommodate this growth, Bluesky says it has made significant updates to its reporting system and moderation process to comply with local regulatory requirements and create a healthier social media environment.

First, we're significantly expanding the options for reporting posts from six to 39 categories, providing more specific and structured choices. For example, you can now directly select categories like 'harassment and bullying of young people' and 'eating disorders' to protect young people, or 'human trafficking,' which reflects legal requirements like the UK Online Safety Act . This detailed categorization will enable our moderation team to respond more quickly and accurately, and will enable us to accurately track harmful trends on the network.

Additionally, a 'strike system' has been introduced, which is a mechanism for dealing with violations. Guideline violations are categorized into severity levels ranging from 'low risk' to 'critical risk' based on the potential harm they pose. While a minor first-time violation may result in educational guidance or content removal, serious violations that suggest real-world harm or patterns of malicious behavior may result in immediate and permanent suspension. Furthermore, as violations accumulate, the measures taken against an account will become increasingly severe, ranging from temporary suspension to permanent suspension.

To further increase transparency, user notifications will be more detailed by December 2025. When enforcement actions are taken, users will be clearly informed of the guidelines that were violated, the severity of the violation, the number of violations to date, the distance to the next escalation, and the duration and end date of the suspension. All enforcement actions can be appealed, and if the appeal is successful, the account status will be restored and the suspension will be lifted immediately. Bluesky also stated that in the future, a feature will be added that allows users to view moderation notifications within the app rather than by email.

Additionally, the previous list-style settings have been changed to a visually clear checkbox format for 'Who can reply?'. Even more importantly, we've added the ability to save your selected settings. This means you can always control your conversations to the extent you want, without having to reset them every time.

Additionally, a dark mode compatible app icon has been introduced. When your smartphone's screen settings are set to dark mode, the Bluesky icon displayed on the home screen will also switch to a black-based design. The official account commented, 'This is for those who feel that a warning about viewing in light mode is necessary.'
