ANYway I want to give a shoutout to @aimod.social

Someone suggested it to me when it first hit Bsky and it really, really does make the difference.

It's a labeler service. In Bsky words that means other people help report to this labeler, which labels AI content. You can choose to block outright!

Okay! So threading can be rough here! Here's all my "guide" together if you need it (not exhaustive, just the stuff I tell folks to get them started :) )

(with alt text ♥ )
So you decided to join BLUE SKY [it's not twitter] #1 upload an avatar #2 set Moderation Settings (box showing moderation hand symbol) Moderation (arrow pointing to) Content Filtering (arrow pointing to drawing of toggle) Toggle to enable Adult Content THEN choose Hide, Warn, or SHOW (star) tip: images are AI moderated so some slip thru & some G-rated images get tagged as "explicit", so "Warn" may be the bet choice atm #3 Go to SETTINGS (box with drawing of toggle) toggle require alt text on images (please ♥) (arrow points to) Home Feed Prefs (star) Use these settings to control seeing reposts & replies on your TL #4 Go to My Feeds Go to "Discover New Feeds" to search for interesting feeds like "Only Posts" Click the "+" to add the feed (box) Go to the (gear icon) [edit my feeds] here you can pin and unpin feeds (side note) pinned feed will appear at the top of your TL Don't forget to "♥" the feed when you click on it to preview, this helps others find it! A closer look at: HOME FEED PREFERENCES (toggle drawing) Show Replies: toggle to allow, and adjust "likes" to see more/fewer replies to posts in your home feed (tl) Less likes = more replies seen = FULLER TIMELINE Show Reposts: you can turn off all reposts here, but you can't turn off reposts from individual accts (yet.) Show Quote Posts: you can turn off QPs, but reposts will still be visible if you don't turn them off as well. Intro to Bluesky privacy: (drawing of unlocked padlock) 1. Your Bluesky acct is PUBLIC (as of yet there is NO priovate option) 2. There are NO private messages (drawing of letters "DM" with no sign through them) (drawing of round face behind brick wall) 3. Blocks are PUBLIC (people aren't notified when you block them, but your block list info is available for public search) (drawing of snake tempting round face person saying "yesss look up who blocked you") (drawing of round face with fingers in ears) 4. If you MUTE someone it's Private but... 5. If you create a Mute Lists it's PUBLIC! you can follow others' mute lists and/or make your own by going to Moderation --> Mute Lists

A friend asked me for tips on finding your crowd here. I've been lucky in finding cool folks I know from elsewhere & new folks, but it does take a little investigating and work :) So here are a few tips if you're new and wondering where to start (not comprehensive!)

Thanks @kateburgener.bsky.social
How I found my crowd on BlueSky *not about followers #1 Look, it's me! • Upload an avatar [drawing of avatar blob-person, underneath it says: It's me | I make arts] • fill out the bio. Make sure you mention what you do if you're looking for peers/fellow travelers •Make an intro post (so folks can see more of who you are) #2 SEARCH (a little) [drawing of magnifying glass] • Find folks you know from other places (you only need to find a few, BECAUSE...) • Look at the follows/followers of folks you know! Just like in real life, they probably know other folks you do. #ENGAGE [drawing of two faces sharing a heart in a thought bubble] • Post stuff that has something to do w/the people you want to connect with • Comment on posts. On here replies are out front, other people see these and can find you! TIP: set your replies to 0 in Home Feed setting to see more replies NOTE: Comment sincerely and positively, not just to be seen. Avoid sarcasm and irony because they can come off as shitty. #4 FIND YOUR FEEDS! [drawing of blob-person yelling "it's all about feeds!"] • Find/follow feeds that collect what you're interested in... [Liked by 200 users 9with curser arrow pointed at it)] • Look at "liked by" to find folks to follow... [drawing of blob-person w/ hand to chin, saying "hmmmm"] • Inspect the feed to discover terms the feed uses to select posts (some feeds tell you) • Use these terms when posting about the thing (kinda like a #) so more people can find you. TIP: there's no algorithm here, so you can repost your own post without being penalized. You can also repost old posts, it's fine! You don't need to be a "content" machine ♥Rori!
