Bluesky platform feature updates

Overview

Bluesky has implemented several new features focused on user feed management and privacy. Initially, the platform introduced tools to allow users to hide reposts from specific accounts without unfollowing them, providing more granular control than the standard mute function. This update also included a beta feature for automated thread numbering to improve the readability of long posts.

Subsequently, the platform introduced an account-level setting that allows users to opt out of algorithmic recommendations. This feature prevents public posts from being surfaced to non-followers in the Discover feed, intended for users who wish to communicate with their existing network without the pressure of potentially going viral. This preference is recorded at the AT Protocol account level, meaning it may carry over to third-party applications that choose to honor the signal.
