HN Reader

This coule easily be abused, however, it strikes me as a good balance between speech & reach [1]

If you are nobody, you don't really need to worry about a label. But if you are a politician with some agenda, you can't take those labels off you. If you have a broad reach, you must bare those labels everyone put upon you, this imitates IRL social pressure to an online virtual world.

I wonder if labels could be reversed, see who labeled me, and dispute wrong labels? The "reach" is an unexpolored setup in social networks.

Could this be worked around to add private notes to people’s profiles? My fav feature on RES was the ability to “tag” accounts on Reddit

This got flag killed when I linked directly to the labeler: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42196313

HN is confusing sometimes.

> On the one hand, there are clearly opportunities for abuse here. But given the opt-in nature of the labelers, this doesn't feel hugely different to someone creating a separate webpage full of information about Bluesky profiles.

It requires very little imagination to see how this could be abused. Does the bluesky client also display labellers a user subscribes to?

Then at least it would work in both directions and it would be obvious who is using a labeller to label people for distasteful reasons.
