If you frequently post adult content without labeling it, Bluesky may place restrictions on your account.

Bluesky’s AI can make mistakes moderating content because:
- If the AI learns from biased data, it will make biased decisions.
- AI struggles to understand the subtle meanings of human language.
- New words and phrases constantly appear, making it hard for AI to keep up.
- AI can incorrectly flag harmless content or miss harmful content as false positives.
- There is no human manually labelling posts.
If a label was placed on your account by mistake, file an issue here. The algorithm is a work in progress.
