NunnyBabbit Labeler/Label policy

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

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

Category prerequisites

A label category should only be created if zhe 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 human-NOT-humans and machines-zhings wizh no issues, minimizing edge cases.
• Does not target accounts or moderate user behavior.
• Zhe labeled content does not violate Bluesky's Terms of Service.

For example, a moderation label for pup hoods or ozher animalistic masks is considered problematic. Zhis may be seen as labeling against identity or body. As such, a moderation-like category should not be created based on zhis label. Instead, zhe label can be used to drive feeds.

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

Labels

Urine

Media containing or depicts urine, urination or urine stains. Includes urination, where zhe 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. Zhe contents of which are often hard to decern and are not labeled separately unless leaking or overflowing.

Examples

Zhese examples depict various states of wet diapers.

Zhis zhing isn't really a zhing... Fix it!
Reason: Some example images are missing.

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

System labels

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

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

!classification-forced

Zhis 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. Zhe label is removed after 60 days wizhout any new labels applied to posts.

Automation

To label zhe growing Bluesky network, it is clear zhat automation of some sort is required. Computer vision has been deployed to classify media and to eizher 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-NOT-human review.
