It's time you stopped creating accounts to prosecute this fixation on HN.

#14> It has grown in the last year to about 4,000 monthly active users. I think it could grow way beyond that this year.
Is it really a good idea to paint a bullseye on this group in the US right now?

How is creating or operating a community “painting a bullseye” ?
And tbh now more than ever I think it’s important for communities like this to exist.

#16As someone who isn't familiar with the norms of this community, the first few posts were somewhat surprising. I mean to say, they were overtly sexual and public. I have many trans friends and gay friends so I'm not saying I've never heard terminology like that, but it was usually in a closed conversation. I wonder if those are spam comments? It would be interesting to hear how you plan to guard against people who wil…
I don’t think the thirst posts are trolls, but I do know what you mean. One of my top priorities this next month is adding NSFW filtering to the app to allow people to toggle that sort of content on and off.
I'm glad that you're making it a toggle and not banning it outright. This is my biggest gripe with BlueSky at the moment.

#17Looks more like a community of horny people and other weird stuff. I immediately saw: - Someone who wants to be treated as a dog - Someone who listed their "new experiences" which included "getting fisted", "being fucked with a (fake) knife", "sleeping in a dog crate" and more. - Someone looking for sex WTF?
Okay posting this is really reminding me to prioritize a smart nsfw toggle. My guess is that if you just scrolled twitter or whatever by new exclusively unfiltered you wouldn’t have that different an experience.
I dont think this is true at all.

#18non content related feedback
I like how minimalist the UI is, but I might want a little bit of padding on the sides? I feel like HN does that part pretty well even though it's a little more decorated than this.
Also it wasn't obvious to me that the website is sort of a "preview" of the front page and the app is the main platform, i'll have to check that part out too.

I'm not sure what you mean?
On Bluesky they just apply a label and users are free to toggle it as show/warn/hide. At least, this is what I've personally experienced using the site.
