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

On the surface, it sounds useful, but this sounds like a case where the potential harms greatly outweighs any other use, inc. doxxing, harassment, bullying, libel ... Unfortunately, there's no way to stop it cold.

I still don't get it. Right now you could create a Google Doc full of malicious information about one or more Bluesky profiles. Why is this different?

To clarify: these labels are maintained in systems outside of Bluesky, and are only visible to users who deliberately "subscribe" to a specific labeler.
