Idk.. why I am writing this but I am going to say few things here. Bluesky hasn't taken action to ban the infamous NSFW bot account. It has been ages and that bot gained 18.2K followers and the official bluesky account gained 30.1M followers

When will Bluesky will keep that bot active because some of the art posts (or AI arts) are featuring vtubers in a s*xual way (might be deleted I think). but some are from different anime movies

The name is redacted and the media is marked sensitive. I don't wanna teen to find that account. Also, that bot got flagged on bsky.social/labeler as Occasional AI Imagery

Note: The media is not sensitive but I added as caution maybe it sensitive

Sure it feels depressing to find that nice, fundamentally cool drawing is still posted on X and Instagram, for the most of the time.

It feels like i miss those times when people happily relied on sharing and finding amazing drawings, and that "happiness" shattered when an far-right asshole is in charge of a social media platform.

Bluesky users.

What are the ins and outs of tagging locations on Bluesky? Is there documentation somewhere (the official documentation I could find was lacking)? Are there settings or steps to not have posts tagged with locations?

Thanks!
