GoKawiilBluesky adds beta 'moderation inbox' feature in app
Bluesky is launching a beta feature called the moderation inbox, which centralizes reports users have filed, actions taken against their accounts, and their standing on the platform. Users can enable it via beta features in Settings, and it lets people appeal most moderation decisions directly in the app, though account suspensions still require action at the login screen.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Bluesky says the change replaces its prior reliance on email notices, which it says struggled to reach users on independent servers and often only covered serious cases, suggesting the company wants moderation communication to be more consistent and transparent. The update follows criticism over moderation practices, including reports that automated systems flagged Palestinian users' crowdfunding posts and disputes over handling of posts about Charlie Kirk's assassination, so clearer in-app notices could help address user trust concerns, though it's uncertain whether this resolves underlying moderation disputes.
- Bluesky's moderation inbox is in beta, enabled via Settings > beta features.
- It consolidates reports filed, actions taken, and account standing in one place.
- It follows past criticism of Bluesky's email-based and automated moderation practices.
