The audience Bluesky is currently cultivating is the kind of audience that mashes the report button every time they see something they disagree with, so this isn't surprising.
If the user base actually keeps growing at a steady rate, I don't see how they'll get the resources to deal with so many reports (especially since they don't seem to have a plan to monetize the site yet) without resorting to the usual low-effort solutions, such as using some sort of algorithm that bans automatically based on keywords or number of reports.

Or you prioritize reports from accounts with a proven track record. If I consistently report posts that clearly violate the rules why shouldn't my report count more than an account that just got created? If you consistently report nonsense then you should accumulate negative karma until at some point you can safely ignore whatever they report in the future.
- beeflet 2y agoWhat should the karma be of a new account? That is the minimum karma that spammers can readily abuse.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoThe baseline model is reddit. You start at 0, and if you get negative you're timegated from replying. HN has a karma system as well. You need 500 karma to downvote (or something to that effect). Honestly, I think something like a StackExchange lite reputation system could work well here. But as more for a credibility system than an authority one. Someone with a good reputation (by the users and the site itself) is probably making more credible reports than a newer person or a troll.
