The Bluesky app is built on a decentralized social networking protocol, the AT Protocol (atproto). Atproto is an open protocol that supports many different kinds of services. Our mission for the Bluesky app is to foster a vibrant and evolving community that respects individual preferences and adapts to the changing needs of our users. With this in mind, we have established the following goals for our community guidelines:

  1. Empower user choice: We strive to provide users with the ability to select self-governing services on the AT protocol that align with their personal preferences and values. This includes making it easy for others to run their own services, and for users to migrate between services.
  2. Cultivate a welcoming environment: Our aim is to create a safe and friendly space on bsky.social, the server we run, where new users feel welcome and supported, and where we ourselves enjoy participating. To help achieve this vision, we have implemented moderation systems guided by the following policies.
  3. Maintain up-to-date guidelines: As our user base grows and changes, our community guidelines must evolve as well. We will regularly review and update these guidelines in response to feedback from our users, emerging trends, and changing circumstances, and will strive to maintain transparency about any changes to our policies.

In the following sections, we will dive into the specific policies that make up our server and community guidelines.

Server Guidelines

Our server guidelines outline the content policies we have established for the material hosted on our infrastructure at bsky.social. These policies have been selected to minimize potential risks and costs associated with hosting certain types of content, since we have limited developer resources and want to focus them on improving the AT Protocol.

It is important to note that other servers within the atproto network may have different server-level rules. If you find that our policies do not align with your preferences, we encourage you to explore alternative servers or create your own. If you initially choose to use bsky.social but later decide that our policies do not suit your needs, you will soon be able to seamlessly migrate your account between servers.

No illegal content or transactions

Don’t break our infrastructure

Community Guidelines

Our community guidelines are designed to promote a safe and enjoyable experience for all users on our server. These policies serve as an additional layer on top of our server-level guidelines and are intended to foster a positive and respectful environment. For some community guidelines, we plan to offer content filters that you can adjust according to your preferences, allowing you to view content that has been initially filtered out. Please be aware that these rules will evolve over time as we continually work to cultivate a healthy and thriving community.

Be polite and respectful

Don’t spam

Don’t abuse the reporting system

Enforcement

Our goal is to provide a flexible environment that balances the freedom and safety of our users. Violations of server or community guidelines may result in a flag, a warning, an account suspension until you migrate away from our service, or a permanent account suspension and ban from our services.{' '}
