Bluesky Expands Moderation Team Amid Growth and Funding Challenges
TL;DR
Bluesky, the open-source social media platform spun off from Twitter, announced it is quadrupling its moderation team to address a backlog of reports, particularly impersonation issues, amid a surge in new users. This move comes after Jack Dorsey, Twitter's co-founder, left Bluesky's board, criticizing it for repeating Twitter's mistakes in censorship. The platform is also working on verifying organizations and implementing policies to prevent impersonations. Dorsey has previously attributed Twitter's censorship issues to advertiser pressure and broader systemic influences.
