Bluesky Adds Feature to Hide Reposts

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Bluesky, a social media platform, has introduced a new feature allowing users to hide reposts from specific accounts they follow. This addresses user frustration with excessive sharing and offers greater control over their feeds.

The update, reported by The Verge, aims to give users more granular control over the content they see. Previously, users could only mute or block accounts entirely, which was a drastic measure for simply wanting to avoid seeing an abundance of reposts from someone. Now, users can choose to hide just the reposts from a particular account while still remaining connected and seeing their original posts.

In addition to hiding reposts, Bluesky is also testing post numbers within threads as part of a beta feature. This functionality intends to improve clarity and navigation within longer conversations, making it easier for users to follow the sequence of replies and contributions. The Verge notes that these features are rolling out now and should be available to all users soon.
