From our community and with our community is how we’ve always built. It was through this communication, our People's Assembly, that one of the biggest community needs – private posts – surfaced.
We believe permissioned spaces are essential for community safety and for organizing together online, particularly at a time when abuses of privacy are becoming more common with growing political polarization. However, permissioned, Blacksky-only posts, means that Bluesky moderation would not have access, leaving moderation entirely to the Blacksky team.
Our team has explored several ways to make permissioned posts possible. Now we’re bringing the decision back to the community. Below are three approaches to moderation: a machine-learning system that automates moderation, a large-scale peer moderator program, or a hybrid model that combines both. We’re inviting your feedback to help decide how we should govern privacy together.
