By default, Discord enables the "Use External Apps" permission for EVERYONE. I'm willing to bet that most servers don't even know that they're at risk.

Audit your servers. Remove this dangerous permission.

GitHub - haileyok/atproto-ruleset: An Osprey ruleset made for moderating Bluesky and other ATProto applications An Osprey ruleset made for moderating Bluesky and other ATProto applications - haileyok/atproto-ruleset

Because @labeler.hailey.at is fairly low stakes and is merely a community tool (not something we run in production), I've gone ahead and made the ruleset that drives it public. Hopefully serves as a good reference for writing Osprey rules.

for atproto devs and protocol watchers, I published an overview of the network moderation architecture.

it tries to cover all the mod actions possible for each service type. this design has been around a while, but not well documented.

this doc is not very polished, but could clarify some details

a bunch of folks are wondering about how mod comms work for other PDS instances. this is also a problem for, eg, labelers trying to reply to appeals.

the plan is this proposal, which we have been making slow progress towards (it has been a very very busy 12 months for mod eng team)
