Bluesky Unveils Ozone for Custom Content Moderation

The social platform introduces a tool allowing users to tailor their moderation experience, amid growth to over 5 million users.

Bluesky, an open-source social platform, has introduced a new moderation tool called Ozone, enabling users to customize their content moderation.
Ozone allows users and developers to create and subscribe to independent moderation services, offering a tailored social media experience.
The tool aims to empower communities with the ability to set their own norms and preferences, moving towards a more decentralized approach to content moderation.
Bluesky's growth has surged, reaching over 5 million users after opening to all in February, highlighting its potential as a Twitter/X alternative.
Criticism over handling of accounts with racial slurs has prompted Bluesky to continue investing in moderation and support systems.
