Tech Talk: Trezy and the Games Industry Labeler & Game Dev Feed
Trezy built a Games Industry Labeler, including self-labeled and verified accounts, moderated with an Ozone instance, as well maintaining a Game Dev Feed.
Trezy runs the Games Industry Labeler and a Game Dev feed. What does that mean??? It means that he has created and manages a custom feed, and is running a labeler specifically for the games industry.
Games Industry Labeler
Labelers on Bluesky were originally designed for moderation, but are now used for all sorts of things. The Games Industry Labeler can be subscribed to, so that users can see badges applied by it.
As it says in the image, labels are applied manually, and people can request their own labels. Here's an example of many of the labels:
Not just devs! People can self-label as many different types (including multiple) within the games industry.
Finally, these "green checkmarks" ✅ are verified, including for accounts for games, studios, etc.
You can follow the instructions on using the labeler here:
The first step is to send a DM to the labeler! The DM icon is removed from labeler profiles, but it can still be messaged. 1️⃣ Open your DMs ("Chat" on the Bluesky sidebar) 2️⃣ Click the plus icon (mobile) or the "New Chat" button (desktop) 3️⃣ Type in @ozone.birb.house 4️⃣ Say hello!

This is managed in part by an Ozone instance, the moderation tool that Bluesky has open sourced for others to use.
Game Dev Feed
As well as the industry labeler, Trezy maintains a Game Dev Feed.
More generally, if you're in the games industry and want to get the most out of Bluesky, read Trezy's game dev orientation:
First things first, you need to write up your intro skeet! Don’t bother making it a reply in any of the intro threads, tho… we’ll get to that in a bit. Include the #GameDev tag to ensure your intro shows up in the game dev feed. 😍
