3️⃣ App passwords can now be created with "Access to DMs" privileges, if needed. This is useful for using a third-party client with DMs, like @skeetdeck.bsky.social !
📢 1.84 is rolling out now (2/4)
2️⃣ Posts which are hidden in a thread due to mutes or labels are now grouped under one "Show hidden posts" card. Additionally, labels placed on posts and accounts now consistently show who applied the label.
📢 App Version 1.84 is rolling out now (1/4)
We've got a bundle of usability improvements and DM bugfixes in this one, starting with:
1️⃣ The "alt text" indicator on images has been moved to the right and reduced in size to avoid covering text in images.
Only the Bluesky moderation team can review reported DMs, and only in rare & absolutely necessary cases can moderators open DMs to investigate broader patterns of abuse.
Access is extremely limited and tracked.
Here's a thread from @safety.bsky.app that elaborates on DM safety & privacy:
Direct Messages (DMs) are now available on Bluesky!
Learn more about the built-in safety features and how to use them 🧵:
By default, only people you follow can message you. You can change this to everyone or no one in your DM settings.
