If you’re a Bluesky user, you’ve probably accumulated hundreds or even thousands of likes across posts and profiles. Some of those likes might date back to when the platform first launched – and they’re still sitting there, even if they no longer reflect your interests today.

Bluesky doesn’t offer a built-in way for you to bulk-delete or automatically delete your likes – but Redact.dev does. With Redact, deleting your likes could take hours or days.

Ready to start bulk deleting Bluesky likes with Redact? You can skip straight to our guide here.

Your digital footprint – comprised of every piece of information about you online – includes your Bluesky likes. The potential implications of this can be significant, touching multiple areas of your life.

Why You Should I Delete My Bluesky Likes?

If you’re wondering whether it’s worth the effort to clear your Bluesky likes, the short answer is this: it is. Lets explore the reasons you might want to clear your Bluesky likes in bulk.

Your Interests Have Changed

Your old Bluesky likes may no longer reflect who you are today. Cleaning up your likes helps ensure your profile matches your current interests and values.

You’re Rebranding or Starting Fresh

If you’re repositioning your personal brand or business, your old likes might not align with your new direction. Deleting them keeps your profile consistent and professional.

Minimize Your Digital Footprint

Reducing the amount of data connected to your account limits the risk of your information being misused in scams, hacks, or breaches.

Your Workplace Has Strict Reputational Controls

Some workplaces actively monitor and assess employee social media activity – and might even go as far as to fire you for liking the wrong post. In today’s chaotic political climate, it’s probably best not to risk creating unnecessary friction with your boss… if you want to keep your job.

Avoid Your Data Powering AI Models

While Bluesky are unlikely to ever use their users’ content to train large language models, the platform’s ‘open’ nature makes it likely that third parties will scrape Bluesky content and use it to train large language models. A machine learning librarian proved this, by collecting 1 million public posts from the platform.
