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.

> 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.

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

HN is confusing sometimes.

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
