This partnership puts more safety tools in your hands to control your online experience. Your content stays private while we work to prevent harmful sharing across multiple platforms. Learn more at StopNCII.org 4/4

When we detect a new match to these fingerprints, our moderators review and block the content before it appears online. You can create hashes directly through StopNCII.org. Alternatively - report NCII through our in-app reporting under Adult Content > Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery. 3/4

How it works: StopNCII.org uses privacy-preserving technology to create digital "fingerprints" of your intimate content directly on your device. Your images never leave your device, but the fingerprints are shared with participating platforms like Meta, TikTok, and now Bluesky. 2/4

Report suspicious activity. Your security is our priority! 10/10

📝 QUICK SECURITY CHECKLIST: ✓ Strong, unique password ✓ 2FA enabled ✓ App passwords reviewed ✓ Suspicious DMs reported ✓ Never share login credentials ✓ Verify official communications
9/10

💡 STAY ALERT - Social engineering attacks are getting sophisticated. Be skeptical of urgent requests, verification promises, or threats about account suspension—especially in DMs. 8/10

🎣 RECOGNIZE PHISHING - Scammers often impersonate Bluesky staff. Our accounts have blue verification checkmarks—if an account looks like Bluesky but lacks the checkmark, it's not official. When in doubt, don't engage. 7/10

🚨 MODERATION SCAM WARNING - DMs about account violations or moderation issues are scams. We don't handle moderation via DMs/external sites and would NEVER ask for your password, payment, or credit card details regarding moderation decisions. 6/10

⚠️ VERIFICATION SCAM WARNING - We will NEVER DM you about account verification. Messages from "Bluesky staff" or services offering to get your account verified through DMs are scams. Report and block immediately. 5/10

🔑 CHECK YOUR APP PASSWORDS - Regularly review your app passwords in Settings > Privacy and Security > App Passwords. Delete any you don't recognize or no longer use. For apps you do use, verify they're working as expected. 4/10

🛡️ ENABLE 2FA - Add an extra security layer via Settings > Privacy and Security > Enable 2FA. While Bluesky 2FA helps protect your account, make sure your email also has 2FA enabled for maximum protection. 3/10

✅ USE STRONG PASSWORDS - Create unique, complex passwords for Bluesky. Never reuse passwords from other sites. Consider using a password manager to generate and store secure passwords safely. 2/10

CORRECTION: The post was made on Oct 10. Due to a backlog in cases, our mod team didn’t review and take action until Nov 11, which is when we engaged with the account owner about the reason for suspension.

The account owner was immediately notified of the reason for the content takedown and engaged in a discussion with our moderation team. Our community guidelines prohibit content that threatens or wishes harm to others. 2/2

This link safety feature works automatically in the background to protect you from known threats while maintaining your privacy. There is no review of your messages unless you or another participant reports them. 4/4

Bluesky does not read or review your DMs. We gain limited access to messages only when they're reported by a participant in the conversation to conduct a moderation assessment. 3/4

When you receive a link that's been confirmed as malicious or unsafe, the app will either warn you when you click the link or block the URL entirely. This helps protect you against scams, CSAM, and compromised accounts. 2/4
