We've recently added some labels to help clarify why accounts get labeled: Bulk Following, Engagement Abuse / Hacking and Spam. We also encourage you to use our Platform Manipulation label!

This will allow us to match on more complex patterns and combinations and hopefully increase our accuracy / reduce false positives. In the short term, bear with us as we dial in the new rulesets!15 Feb 2026 17:13 +0000at://did:plc:e4elbtctnfqocyfcml6h2lf7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mevzv53shc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/skywatch.blue/post/3mcyaosb3es2rStop reporting communists and claiming they're MAGA accounts with absolutely no proof (and no, disagreeing with you does not count as proof).22 Jan 2026 03:30 +0000at://did:plc:e4elbtctnfqocyfcml6h2lf7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcyaosb3es2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/skywatch.blue/post/3mbw62gvobk2rBe aware that there are accounts attempting to steal session keys. This particular method won’t work using the Bluesky app for a couple of reasons, but third party apps may be vulnerable to similar attempts. We will attempt to automatically label these as Platform Manipulation.

More updates as we figure out what broke.11 Dec 2025 02:03 +0000at://did:plc:e4elbtctnfqocyfcml6h2lf7/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7oiatzjik2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/skywatch.blue/post/3m5z25rydv22mWe've introduced a new label and associated blocklist: Intolerance. We have also depreciated the Dehumanizing Rhetoric and Discriminatory Language labels in favor of this one, which will capture a broader swath of behavior that users want out of their timelines.19 Nov 2025 20:00 +0000at://did:plc:e4elbtctnfqocyfcml6h2lf7/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5z25rydv22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/skywatch.blue/post/3m5jvkh5s2s2zA general reminder that the labels do what they say on the box. There are very few new false positives being added to the MAGA list and most folks are discovering accounts that were labeled months ago that have not yet been discovered.13 Nov 2025 19:27 +0000at://did:plc:e4elbtctnfqocyfcml6h2lf7/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5jvkh5s2s2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/skywatch.blue/post/3m4sm4wxnik2cJust an update here: We're currently going through all the lists and labeled accounts to remove as many false positives as we can detect. This is a slow and tedious process which will likely continue for the next week or so.

We are working through appeals but also dealing with a significant uptick in legitimate reports.19 Oct 2025 14:34 +0000at://did:plc:e4elbtctnfqocyfcml6h2lf7/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3kjjigff22qhttps://bsky.app/profile/skywatch.blue/post/3m35rxg2qms2zDo you use Skywatch?
