NunnyBabbit Labeler/Label policy

While the label definitions are pretty straightforward, there are sometimes a few exceptions in which a label may or may not be applied.

The labeler will not apply !hide or !warn system labels to any record or account.

Category prerequisites

A label category should only be created if the following requirements are met:

• Does not target gender, sexuality, identity, race or body. See Bluesky Labeler Guidelines.
• Can be handled by at least one operator.
• Can be identified by humans and machines with no issues, minimizing edge cases.
• Does not target accounts or moderate user behavior.
• The labeled content does not violate Bluesky's Terms of Service.

For example, a moderation label for pup hoods or other animalistic masks is considered problematic. This may be seen as labeling against identity or body. As such, a moderation category should not be created based on this label. Instead, the label can be used to drive feeds.

Conversely, a moderation label for urine shouldn't be problematic. As the label is only applied by presence of urine, as defined in the label's policy.

Labels

Urine

Media containing or depicts urine, urination or urine stains. Includes urination, where the exerted fluid may not be urine.

Feces

Media containing or depicts feces or defecation. Includes implied scat (i.e.: sounds). Does not include icons or emoji-like symbolism.

Diaper

Media containing or depicts diapers or similar undergarments. The contents of which are often hard to decern and are not labeled separately unless leaking or overflowing.

Examples

These examples depict various states of wet diapers.

Reason: Some example images are missing.

• 
  A diaper depicted wet by its yellow discoloration. Not labeled as urine.
• A canid character wearing a diaper. The diaper is overflowing with urine, creating a puddle of urine on the ground.
  A full diaper leaking urine. Labeled as urine.

System labels

Labels prefixed by ! are system labels. These cannot used to hide posts or accounts. System labels control how the labeler's systems behave when they are encountered.

In most context, system labels are hidden. Bluesky does not show system labels applied to posts or accounts. Other applications may show these labels such as Clearsky or Query Labeler Services. Clearsky in particular mangles label slug names. It removes the ! system label indicator and hyphens. This causes a label like !classification-forced to show as Classification Forced which inadvertently removes context.

!classification-forced

This label is internally used for forcing automated image classification regardless of if content labels were applied. It is automatically applied when a user had at least one non-system label on a post. The label is removed after 60 days without any new labels applied to posts.

Automation

To label the growing Bluesky network, it is clear that automation of some sort is required. Computer vision has been deployed to classify media and to either auto-label or report for human review.

Auto-labeling could have negative implications, as mislabels are always undesirable and could cause users to feel discomfort. Auto-labeling of posts should only be deployed if additional post context can be used to infer a label. Even in such cases, reports are still created for human review.
