I'm skeptical about third-party labelers. How do you prevent that from being abused?


Users choose which 3p labelers they subscribe to. If a labeler service starts abusing their position, users can drop it.

https://github.com/bluesky-social/proposals/tree/main/0002-l... is a deep-dive on how Bluesky sees labelers fitting into the ecosystem.


What kind of abuse are you talking about? I'd be happy to give you my take, but it's a bit too broad for me to know how to answer.


We'll be publishing a lot more about moderation soon, but the basics of labelers:

- anyone can label anything in the network — including other labelers

- apps can surface labelers for users to subscribe to, similar to how custom feeds currently work in bluesky

- apps can exercise curation over how labelers get surfaced and ranked, similar to how custom feeds get surfaced (currently ranked by popularity expressed through likes and saves)
