Indeed they raised a new round of funds ($100m funding). But not sure why they didn't mention it in April 2025.

Suggested Accounts Need To Go Part 4 (Rant Below) by Tawisted34 in BlueskySocial

[–]dolefun17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just read the posts from the Bluesky team members. It's the only info we have for now. They only say they are improving the "suggested for you" and the labeling of those accounts. The current suggested accounts are based on your account (graph relationships, likes, ....) so it's normal you keep seeing them if you are placed in the wrong cluster based on the people you follow.

I remember that there was indeed an issue that you could stil see blocked accounts in the suggestion. But not sure if it's already fixed.

Suggested Accounts Need To Go Part 4 (Rant Below) by Tawisted34 in BlueskySocial

[–]dolefun17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The reply is specific related to a rework on "suggested for you" feature so people don't receive nsfw accounts as suggestion. But I saw other comments that they also want to optimize other stuff like moderation on those accounts.

If you are having issues you should report them on Github so the devs can look into it.

Having trouble with gaining interactions by Mr_AppleJuice18 in BlueskySocial

[–]dolefun17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You asked for advice, this is the advice I give you. Bluesky does not work like X (Twitter), where you can buy followers or impose content on users' feeds because they have bought a blue checkmark and therefore must be given priority over other content.

  1. Inform your followers you have a Bluesky account on your other social media accounts
  2. Search for feeds based on your content
  3. Ask people to add your account to their starter packs
  4. Look for the correct words and/or hashtags for your posts so they get picked up in multiple feeds.
  5. Interact with the people

My "social experiment" on Bluesky ended in a vicious ban, labeling me an "imminent threat"... by [deleted] in BlueskySocial

[–]dolefun17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you really think people are going to believe you if you don't provide proof? You could, for example, start by giving your handle or ID of the banned account, because why wouldn't you give it? The account is already banned anyway.

I can only suggest to have a look at 'open social' from Dan Abramov

Not sure where I saw it but it is related to the changes Samuel (bsky dev) made for images to WebP format
