💡 Advanced Usage

Global Options

• --json: Get raw data for piping to other tools.
• --plain: Disable emojis and formatting for cleaner logs.
• -n <count>: Limit results (default: 10).
• --dry-run: Preview actions (like unfollowing) without executing.

🛡 Safety & Ethics

Clawbsky provides powerful automation tools. To protect your account and the Bluesky community:

1. Be Human: Do not use follow-all to search and follow thousands of users daily. This is considered spam and will lead to an account ban.
2. Respect Limits: Use unfollow-non-mutuals for periodic maintenance, not for "follow/unfollow" churning.
3. App Passwords: Only use App Passwords. If you suspect your credentials have been compromised, revoke the App Password immediately in your Bluesky settings.
4. Rate Limiting: The tool includes built-in delays (1s/follow) to prevent hitting API limits. Do not attempt to disable these.

Responsibility for account actions lies solely with the user.

Automatic Logic

• Handle Completion: @username or username automatically resolves to username.bsky.social.
• Rich Text: Mentions and links are auto-detected and facet-encoded for the AT Protocol.
• Video Processing: Automatically polls the Bluesky video service until processing completes.

Built for the AT Protocol community.
