And, now they've got a labeler on Bluesky! https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:qezlipqc4yfk2lebu7533zyr
This is an interesting use case for the stackable moderation approach, so it'll be interesting to see how it works out

Bonfire has also done some interesting work on labeling, and @[email protected] led a very interesting session at #FediForum today on this. As I said during the session, I think there are some great opportunities for decentralized social networks in fighting disinfo (although we also have to play defense, because the #fediverse is also a channel where disinfo gets spread), so it's great to see all this work happening.
Safer social networking - Bonfire's recent experiment with Prosocial Design Patterns
To better understand the workflow involved in building Bonfire extension from scratch, we implemented a design pattern from the Prosocial Design Network: label misleading content; add links to reliable, related content.
