PDN Pro-Social. CLR:SKY, Prosocial & Agentic Feedback on Bsky

​CLR:SKY is a Bluesky add-on that gives users in-time feedback on how healthy or toxic ("sunny" or "stormy") their post is - and suggests "more constructive" rewrites. It's a tool that checks so many prosocial design boxes, building off evidence-based design, giving users agency and being a great example of incorporating prosocial design into Middleware (i.e. interoperable tools people can use to mediate their online experiences). But does it work? Are users adopting it? And what exactly goes into that "more constructive" formula?

​At our next Pro-Social, we'll get to talk to CLR:SKY's founder, Fay Johnson, to answer all those questions - and explore the potential of middleware to foster prosocial interactions online. We hope you can join us for what we know will be an inspiring conversation!

​About Pro-Socials: Pro-Socials are informal meet-ups, where technologists and researchers can learn from - and inspire - each other around understanding and integrating prosocial design. Each Pro-Social includes a motivating question, conversation with experts and break-out convos where you can meet like-minded technologists (designers, product managers, entrepreneurs and trust & safety professionals) and researchers to share insights and begin to co-create new knowledge together.
