Bluesky 新增“算法退出”功能，专为不想“爆火”的用户设计
After adding support for longer videos just yesterday, open social network Bluesky on Thursday introduced a new algorithmic opt-out feature that allows users to stop their posts from appearing in the app’s main Discover feed. 继昨日增加对长视频的支持后，开放社交网络 Bluesky 于周四推出了一项新的“算法退出”功能，允许用户禁止其帖子出现在该应用的“发现”（Discover）主信息流中。
That algorithmic feed can currently surface any post on Bluesky’s network, as posts on the network are public by default. To be clear, this latest change isn’t a way to make posts private — Bluesky is still working on rolling out support for private data at the protocol level. 目前，该算法信息流可以抓取 Bluesky 网络上的任何帖子，因为该网络上的帖子默认是公开的。需要明确的是，这一最新变动并非将帖子设为私密的方法——Bluesky 目前仍在致力于在协议层面推出对私密数据的支持。
Instead, the feature simply makes a user’s public posts less discoverable to people outside their existing personal network. The company says it created the feature because not everyone using its social media site wants to go viral. Sometimes, people just want to post for their followers without having their words exposed to larger crowds. 相反，该功能只是让用户的公开帖子在现有个人网络之外的人群中更难被发现。该公司表示，推出此功能是因为并非所有使用其社交媒体网站的用户都想“爆火”。有时，人们只是想为自己的关注者发布内容，而不希望自己的言论被推送到更广泛的受众面前。
To opt out of having posts shown in the Discover feed, users can toggle on a new option in the app’s Privacy and Security settings. The change can take up to an hour to fully take effect, the company says. 若要退出在“发现”信息流中展示帖子，用户可以在应用的“隐私与安全”（Privacy and Security）设置中开启这一新选项。该公司表示，该设置生效最多可能需要一小时。
It’s also worth noting that Bluesky’s implementation of the feature extends beyond its own app. Instead of just being a setting that applies only within Bluesky, the preference is recorded at the account level. That means the choice travels with the user, even if they’re posting from another app that is powered by the same underlying protocol that Bluesky uses, AT Proto. However, while those other apps have access to this information, they still have to choose whether to respect it. 值得注意的是，Bluesky 对该功能的实现不仅限于其自有应用。这不仅仅是一个仅在 Bluesky 内部生效的设置，该偏好设置是记录在账户层面的。这意味着无论用户通过何种方式发布内容，只要是使用与 Bluesky 相同的底层协议（AT Proto）的其他应用，该选择都会随用户同步。不过，虽然其他应用可以获取此信息，但它们仍需自行决定是否遵守该设置。
