Comprehensive Tagging System

[8ullyMaguire]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I always get frustrated when I can't easily find a specific post or image that I've seen before on social media platforms. The current tagging system on Twitter is limited and doesn't provide the level of organization and searchability that image boards like Safebooru offer.

Describe the solution you'd like I propose implementing a comprehensive tagging and advanced search system similar to Safebooru, where users can add and edit tags for posts, and search by including or excluding combinations of tags. For example, users could search for posts containing tag1 AND tag2 while excluding posts with tag3. This would make it easier to find and rediscover content on the platform.

To encourage user curation of tags, consider implementing a points/reward system and leaderboards showcasing top contributors. This would incentivize users to help tag content.

To prevent abuse, consider implementing a trust level system like Discourse, where users must perform a certain number of actions before gaining the privilege to tag posts. Additionally, maintain a history of tag changes to allow for reverting bad changes. The tagging system should be separate from the post content, so users would only be editing tags, not the actual posts.

If AI tagging is accurate enough, it could be used to automatically tag posts, reducing the need for user curation.

Describe alternatives you've considered An alternative solution is the proposed hashtag system used on Twitter. However, this may not be as effective as a comprehensive tagging system in helping users find specific content.

Additional context

Benefits of a comprehensive tagging system over hashtags:

• Filter sensitive content - Users can avoid content about phobias, traumatic events, etc. that they don't want to see
• More flexible searching - Combine, include, or exclude any tags
• Enhanced organization - Logical categorization for easier discovery
• Improved discovery - Browse and search tags to find relevant content
• Separate from content - Tags are non-disruptive metadata, hashtags are just spam
• Post-publish tagging - Improve organization after posting
• Granular feed customization - Highly customizable feeds by including/excluding tags

A comprehensive tagging system would not only improve content discovery but also enhance the overall user experience on Bluesky. By allowing users to easily find and organize content, the platform becomes more engaging and useful for its user base.

Furthermore, having properly tagged and classified content would significantly improve users' ability to create highly customized and granular feeds, since they could filter feeds not just by users or keywords but also by specific tags and combinations of tags. This would enable much more powerful and precise content curation.

• More Granular Control Over Feeds

We're going to roll out hashtags soon; we'll see how they evolve, but everything is a balance of power and ease-of-use
