Bluesky has reached over 40 million users and is set to launch a “dislikes” beta feature aimed at enhancing its personalization algorithms and reducing toxic content. This new functionality will allow users to signal content they want to see less of, impacting both feed and reply rankings. The changes aim to foster a more enjoyable and respectful environment, addressing recent user dissatisfaction regarding moderation. While Bluesky promotes user-run moderation, some users are calling for the platform to take a more active role in banning problematic figures.
