To anyone thinking about joining BlueSky, especially artists: everything you post is sent to a third party for AI labeling.
BlueSky uses AI to label content for moderation, and to do that they use a company called https://thehive.ai. If you look through their privacy policy, you will see that they can use content sent to them to train models for all their services, which include generative AI for both text and images.

@FluffyDeveloper oh wait what? That's... not good!
Tbh, I still don't really know what BlueSky is, but I've seen that name often.
@SteffoSpieler It's another social media network created by the same people who backed Twitter and Nostr. Instead of going with ActivityPub however, they decided to make their own VC-backed protocol called AT.
The protocol itself is not too bad, but its controlled by private companies and BlueSky has decided to basically avoid moderation and offload everything to AI labelling.
In short: it's decentralised Twitter with venture capitalists trying to control their own fediverse :/
@Rhube @FluffyDeveloper @SteffoSpieler their current position is that they’re exploring blocking but are concerned about the “cost” (for whatever metric they’re using as a cost function) of blocking “at scale”.
Because apparently “kick off the harassers everyone blocks” is too much to ask.
@mic @PennyOaken @Rhube @FluffyDeveloper @SteffoSpieler
no, they didn't forget.
Distracted angry plebes fighting amongst themselves is -the- primary way exploitative pieces of garbage manage to get rich.
The "Golden Rule" of all exploitative assholes from pickpockets to VC bros is simple: Distract, Divide and Conquer
