The beta feature makes it easier to stay on top of reports and account strikes.
Bluesky is rolling out a new feature today that allows users to track the platform’s various moderation actions in one place. The new “Moderation Inbox” is available in beta through the Bluesky app, and collects reports you’ve submitted about other users and posts, actions taken against your account and your overall standing on the platform.
You can enable the moderation inbox by turning off beta features in the Bluesky app’s settings menu, and then finding the inbox under the moderation tools menu. Bluesky says the inbox will start out empty even if you’ve already received a strike, but will fill up as you register reports about posts and Bluesky takes charges against your account or applies labels to your posts. Inbox also lets you appeal most Bluesky decisions directly through the app, although suspensions are still handled on the login screen.
Bluesky says the goal for the feature is to make it easier to communicate with users. The company previously shared moderation decisions via email, which it says made it difficult to reach people who use Bluesky on independent servers, and often meant that when it did email, it was only for serious decisions. The inbox allows anyone using the Bluesky app to be contacted with a notification and lets the company share every step of the moderation process without cluttering anyone’s email inbox.
Bluesky has earned a reputation for offering robust blocking tools that make it easier for users to moderate their own feeds, but the company’s own approach to moderation has drawn criticism. In the year 2025, The Guardian reported that Bluesky’s automated spam system regularly disabled the accounts of Palestinians to disable supplies on the platform, which critics said treated people like bots. Users also took issue with the company’s moderation of posts about the murder of Charlie Kirk. Clearer in-app notifications and appeals may have softened some of the backlash.
In addition to the moderation inbox, Bluesky’s latest update also adds an optional widget users can place on their home screen that displays trending topics.
