Stay Safe on Bluesky: How to Keep Your Privacy and Saved Posts Confidential

Bluesky has quickly become the favorite haven for people who miss the early days of Twitter: thoughtful conversations, chronological feeds, and a strong sense of community. But as the platform grows, so do the questions that matter most to users:

• Is Bluesky safe?

• What changed in the safety rules in 2025?

• Can you keep your saved posts truly confidential?

The short answer: Bluesky has made major improvements to safety, transparency, and user control.

The longer answer: when it comes to bookmarks and saved posts, you still need an external layer of privacy if you want 100% confidentiality and permanent access.

That’s where Dewey comes in. Let's break it down.

What changed in Bluesky’s safety policies last year?

Last September, Bluesky rolled out a complete overhaul of its:

• Terms of Service

• Privacy Policy

• Community Guidelines

• Copyright Policy

These updates were not just to put on a show. They were designed to align Bluesky with global digital safety laws.

Bluesky made it clear that growth brought new responsibilities around moderation, data protection, and user rights. The platform reorganized its rules around four core principles: 

• Safety First

• Respect Others

• Be Authentic

• Follow the Rules.

1. Clearer moderation and enforcement

Bluesky adopted a progressive enforcement model. Users can now understand why moderation actions happen and have access to a formal appeals process.

2. Stronger data transparency

The new Privacy Policy explains in more detail:

• How your data is stored

• How international data transfers are handled

• What rights you have under GDPR-style regulations

• Why deleting data can be complex in a decentralized system

3. Jurisdiction-aware rules

Users in the European Economic Area (EEA) now receive guidance on legal and extrajudicial dispute resolution. 

4. Community participation

Bluesky even invited users to help shape the Community Guidelines.

Bluesky is now one of the most policy-transparent social networks online. But transparency is not the same thing as private control over your saved content.

The hidden problem: saved posts are a privacy risk on any social network

Most people don’t realize that your “saved posts” on social platforms are not truly yours.

Instead, they are:

• Locked inside the platform

• Hard to search

• Impossible to tag

• Lost if the post is deleted

• Not exportable

• Often visible through activity signals (likes, reposts)

Even if Bluesky protects your account, it does not protect your research, inspiration, or archives.

And this matters more than ever because Bluesky is becoming a place where people share:

• Niche expertise

• Technical threads

• Research insights

• Cultural commentary

• Early ideas from smart thinkers

Losing those posts means losing knowledge.

The Decentralization Factor: Why Deletion Is Complicated

Bluesky runs on the AT Protocol, a decentralized architecture. That’s powerful for openness, but it introduces complexity.

Bluesky itself explains that data deletion has limitations due to decentralization.

That means:

• Posts can propagate

• Records can persist

• Your access to something you saved can disappear even if the data still exists somewhere

So the real question becomes:

How do you privately keep what matters, independent of Bluesky’s system?

The Solution: Bluesky Bookmarks Inside Dewey

Dewey is currently the only practical way to bookmark Bluesky posts privately. When you save a Bluesky post into Dewey:

• It appears in your Dewey feed with a Bluesky icon

• You can filter to see only Bluesky content

• You can tag, search, and organize it instantly

• You can export it

• You keep it even if the original post disappears

This is not a workaround. This is a true private bookmarking layer for Bluesky.

How Dewey Keeps Your Bluesky Saved Posts 100% Confidential

Dewey is designed as a smart, visual bookmarking system for serious curators, researchers, and creators.

It allows you to save:

• Social media posts

• Articles

• Websites

• Videos

• Research links

And organize everything with:

• Tags

• Collections

• Search

• Filters

• Export tools

For Bluesky specifically, this means:

Your bookmarks are private

No one sees what you saved. Not Bluesky. Not followers.

You can find posts instantly

Search by keyword, tag, or author.

You can organize by topic

Create collections like:

• AI Threads

• Design Inspiration

• Political Commentary

• Marketing Insights

You can export your archive

Your saved knowledge is not trapped in a platform.

You keep posts forever

Even if they’re deleted or lost in the feed.

Dewey can be like a Pinterest for research. A central hub for everything you save online. 

Why This Matters More on Bluesky Than Other Platforms

Bluesky is attracting early adopters, thinkers, and specialists. The quality of posts is unusually high compared to older networks.

People are sharing:

• Deep threads

• High-signal discussions

• Experimental ideas

• Early research

These are the exact types of posts you’ll want to find again in 3 months. But without bookmarks, they are effectively disposable.

So Dewey can turn Bluesky into a searchable knowledge library and turn the chaos into curiosity.

Instantly See Only Your Bluesky Saves

One powerful feature in the Bluesky + Dewey integration is Filtered Views.

With one click, you can:

• Toggle to see only Bluesky posts

• Separate them from LinkedIn, Twitter, articles, or videos

• Instantly access your Bluesky archive

No scrolling. No hunting. No screenshots.

From Chaos to Personal Knowledge Base

Users who save content seriously often accumulate thousands of posts across platforms. If you collected over 20,000 saved posts, Dewey can help you to finally be able to tag, search, and retrieve them.

Imagine doing that with Bluesky from the beginning instead of trying to reconstruct it later?

Practical Example

You see a brilliant Bluesky thread on:

“How the EU Digital Services Act will reshape social networks”

You know you’ll want this later. But without Dewey:

• You like it (public)

• You lose it in the feed

• The author deletes it

• It’s gone

With Dewey, instead:

• One click save

• Tag: “DSA”, “Policy”, “Bluesky”

• Find it later at any time

Bluesky Is Getting Safer. Dewey Makes It Smarter.

Bluesky’s updates made the platform:

• More transparent

• More compliant with global laws

• More user-focused

• More structured in moderation and privacy

But Bluesky still doesn’t give you ownership over what you save. Dewey does.
