1. Bluesky, a social network with 40 million users, is testing a new feature called "dislikes" to improve personalization on its Discover feed and others. Users can dislike posts to help the system learn what type of content they want to see less of, affecting not only post rankings but also reply rankings.
2. Bluesky is also working on other changes aimed at enhancing conversation control, such as better detection of toxic comments, prioritizing replies from users' social neighborhoods (connections), and reducing content collapse and redundant replies.
3. The company is focusing on providing users with tools to control their own experience, including moderation lists, content filter controls, muted words, the ability to subscribe to other moderation service providers, and a detach quote post feature to limit unwanted attention.
