Problem
Social media conversations often become toxic or unclear, leading to harassment, polarization, and reduced willingness to engage. Users lack real-time tools to assess and improve the tone of their posts before publishing, resulting in harmful content that can be removed or deprioritized by platforms.
Solution
CLR:SKY is an in‑app extension for the Bluesky social network that provides instant feedback on the tone and toxicity of a draft post. A weather‑icon indicator visualizes the negativity level as the user types, while the GenAI Editor offers optional rewrites to enhance clarity and empathy. Perspective Assist analyzes the surrounding thread and suggests ways to acknowledge alternative viewpoints, helping users frame more constructive responses. The tools are built on non‑violent communication frameworks and the Perspective API, delivering research‑backed nudges that encourage civil discourse without requiring separate accounts or downloads.
Target Audience
Primary users are individual Bluesky participants who want to communicate more constructively, as well as community managers and moderators seeking to reduce toxic interactions within their networks.
