◆Privacy
Q: What data will and will not be made public on Bluesky?
A: Bluesky is a public SNS. Each post is visible to everyone on the Internet. Additionally, developers who are familiar with the API can view all posts regardless of whether they have an account or not. Specifically, the following information will be disclosed:
・Each post
·nice
・Blocks and block list
・Mute list
The following information will not be published
・“Muted” signal
・Usage status of 'List of muted users (mute list)' that can be shared with other users
・Who did you invite?
Q: Why are my posts, likes, and blocks public?
A: 'AT Protocol', which builds Bluesky, was developed with a mechanism in mind that 'information such as posts, likes, blocks, etc. can be saved in a data repository and transferred to another SNS while retaining each information.' . In order to realize this mechanism, each information must be made public.
Q: Can I make my profile private?
A: At the time of article creation, making your profile private is not supported.
Q: What happens if I delete a post?
A: Deleting a post will remove it from within the app. Also, any images stored within Bluesky's data storage will be deleted immediately. However, the text stored in the data storage will remain until a 'periodic deletion' is performed.
Q: Is it possible to obtain a copy of all data?
A: Yes. User data is stored in a ' content-addressed archive '. The saved data can be used for data migration between servers, and we also provide data export functionality for developers. We are also developing a system that will allow general users to easily export data. Bluesky's privacy policy can be found at the link below.

◆Moderation
Q: What is mute?
A: Muting a user hides their notifications and posts. Additionally, if you receive a reply from a muted user, you will see a warning that says ``Reply from a muted account'' and can choose whether to display the reply. Muted accounts don't know they're muted.
Q: What is a block?
A: Blocking an account prevents the blocked user and the blocked user from seeing or interacting with each other's posts.
Q: Is there a way to report malicious posts?
A: You can report a post by tapping '...' in each post. It is also possible to report on a user-by-user basis rather than on a post-by-post basis.
Q: Where can I see Bluesky's moderation plans?
A: Our moderation plans can be found at the link below. We also plan to release additional information in the future.

Q: When can I get the invitation code? Is there an expiration date?
A: Once you have a Bluesky account, you will receive new invitation codes periodically. At the time of writing this article, you can get one invitation code every two weeks. Invitation codes will not expire unless a security upgrade is performed for all invitation codes. Also, when a security upgrade is implemented, the string of invitation codes will change, but the number of invitation codes you have will not change. However, if we take certain actions on your account, we may invalidate your invitation code.
Q: Why does Bluesky use an invitation-only system?
A: Bluesky is building systems around moderation and curation to control the number of users participating in the beta (through an invitation system). We plan to continue using the invitation system even as access to the app increases, but we also plan to increase the number of invitation codes issued. The invitation code issuing system is open source, and other server administrators can also create an invitation system similar to Bluesky.
Q: How does Bluesky utilize a user's invitation tree?
A: Browse your invitation tree and track your social media activity. For example, when we take action against a particular account, we may revoke invitation codes distributed by that account.
◆Safety
Q: How do I reset my password?
A: Click 'Forgot' on the sign-in screen to receive an email with a reset code.
Q: What should I do if I don't receive the email with the reset code?
A: Please send an inquiry email to '[email protected]'.
Q: Are there any plans to implement two-factor authentication?
A: Yes. Two-factor authentication is on the near-term roadmap.
