Learn to install parental filtering on your device if you’re worried about it.

Clearly people want BlueSky for very different users cases than me. TBH, it's not been an issue for a while now, maybe because I've blocked so much of it when I started I guess.

I always had "Show NSFW content" unchecked, so it should never have that shit come up.

To be clearly, I don't support them doing this. Unchecking "Show NSFW content" should have always worked. If that doesn't work reliable, why will this identity verification privacy invasion.

I haven’t had a problem with NSFW content when that setting was turned on. There are occasionally shirtless pics of men There’s also a lot of clothed anime titties (think Lara Croft).

If you’re really worried about what your children are going to see, you really should install some sort of parental filter software. BlueSky is not the only app that can expose children to adult content.

I believe there are also a lot of pre-made blocklists you can set up on blue sky that might help you. Though I have not tried that myself yet.

I hadn't explored block lists on bsky. Just looked, and added a few, though it is seams focused on anti MAGA/fascist/racists stuff. Pressing subscribe to get to block is not initiative.
