Remove NovelAI content from Bluesky

The combined situation

NovelAI is a paid image generation service that originated as a text generation platform. The image generator supports explicit output and was an early target of leaked model weight redistribution. When NovelAI output appears on Bluesky, removal proceeds through the statutory takedown process under 47 USC 223a combined with source attribution to strengthen the legal claim.

Why this combination is high risk

The 2022 NovelAI weight leak created a long tail of derivative models that continue to produce explicit content using the original training characteristics. On Bluesky specifically, bluesky's open atproto network allows third party clients and appviews to display the same content. a removal from the official bluesky app does not always remove from third party clients.

How removal proceeds

Bluesky accepts NCII reports through its in app moderation flow and through its trust and safety email. The PDS architecture means content is hosted on individual personal data servers in addition to the network appView. Source attribution to NovelAI is documented through novelai uses a custom finetuned model with a recognizable rendering style, which strengthens the takedown notice and supports parallel legal action.
