Labels accounts suspected of engagement hacking (e.g. mass following accounts in an effort to get return follows, especially if unfollowing afterwards). Mostly manual. DM (or @, or reply) to appeal.https://bsky.app/profile/engagement-hacks.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/engagement-hacks.bsky.social/post/3li7zfnooi22lLabeler Update... Unfortunately, not a happy one. Frankly, I’ve been burned out bad since the holidays and haven’t really gotten much motivation.15 Feb 2025 15:21 +0000at://did:plc:f7fr3fmpevkmhodlzktuobvx/app.bsky.feed.post/3li7zfnooi22lhttps://bsky.app/profile/engagement-hacks.bsky.social/post/3lf6uuvlmkk2wAnother frustrating thing is that I can't respond to appeals via Ozone. I'd love to be able to respond to people who appeal and clarify my reasoning, but if they don't have open DMs I don't want to start a discussion publicly.

Also, you aren't going to be unlabeled if you're following multiple tens of thousands of people! That is not a reasonable amount of people to follow.18 Dec 2024 01:02 +0000at://did:plc:f7fr3fmpevkmhodlzktuobvx/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldk5woj4q223https://bsky.app/profile/engagement-hacks.bsky.social/post/3lcl4fj6lbs2tGetting overwhelmed by reports (~50 a day!), so working on automating some of the worst offenders. This will ONLY be for reported accounts, not trawling the firehose.

Please send that to the Bluesky Moderation Team! But when you send it to *all* labelers (like this one), it becomes a waste of volunteer time. There are plenty of legitimate reports that I'd rather spend my time on :) Appreciate it!

Seeing an uptick in users posting gibberish / unrelated words to show up in feeds and get traction. This is trying to hack engagement and will now be labeled. As for the engagement hacks label, everything is manually reviewed & can be appealed.10 Nov 2024 14:39 +0000at://did:plc:f7fr3fmpevkmhodlzktuobvx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lalzsy6bvs2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/engagement-hacks.bsky.social/post/3l7thgspqsc2gMany mass follow accounts are also content scrapers... check out the great moderation list here to preemptively mute or block many of them! https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:bfjoqzne3tm5yxvpybdfahzo/lists/3jzmevbfqkj2u [contains quote post or other embedded content]31 Oct 2024 20:06 +0000at://did:plc:f7fr3fmpevkmhodlzktuobvx/app.bsky.feed.post/3l7thgspqsc2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/engagement-hacks.bsky.social/post/3l7tgxuaxic2hFWIW I don't actively go out of my way to look for people, so if you're not mass following to the point you get reported, you're fine :) Random person with no related interests follows me w/ 2k+ followers? I'll report it. But if they're not seeming to be very botlike, I leave it be.
