Very interesting read; we hadn’t considered how we might use our eventual labeler service to redirect users to the original source of content. This seems like a “community notes” sort of service though.

Nevertheless we are very keen to get a labeler up to mark posts and accounts reposting content.

FAQ: Why is SkySentry not in the good moderation lists list?

Decide for yourself if it’s still worth using after reading the post below and others found by searching “SkySentry”
Reminder that the person who runs Skysentry now is not the original creator, and has a known track record of disingenuously adding people that he personally dislikes for petty reasons to misleading block lists.
once again telling people if you would like to harass skysentry.bsky.social to get them to stop calling me a nazi that would be fine lmao

Before using any moderation list (from this account or another), check whether accounts you may want to see are on it.

Note if you subscribe, NEW USERS added to the list will also be blocked or muted.

So, I recommend muting unless you have a strong reason to mass block.
