You may want to pre-emptively block GB News? Literally thousands of people already have. Click their username then block them. Job done. They'll never sully your BlueSky again. @gbnewsonline.bsky.social - ThreadSky

GB News would be funny if it wasn't so influential. It reminds me of the genius 'The Day Today' with Chris Morris, which people of a certain age (like me) may remember.

Blocked. They seem to have very few followers here. Glad to help keep it that way.

peterthepig.bsky.social•206 days ago

Contrarily I muted them instead. Probbly some awful faux-pas on my part.

reply

edwinhayward.com•206 days ago

Not necessarily. But it does mean that they can see, talk about and repost what you've posted - and you'll never know.

reply

jamesmilani7.bsky.social•205 days ago

Is it not better to constructively challenge their hypocrisy, lies and double standards?

reply

richardsedtech.bsky.social•205 days ago

That's what people said on the 'other place' - 'sunlight is a great disinfectant' we were told.

Look where that got us all!

reply

edwinhayward.com•205 days ago

Why? They don't care. The people following them don't care either. You're not going to convert anyone. Enjoy life instead.

reply

okboomer69.bsky.social•204 days ago

I'd already blocked. Did anyone see if they actually had any followers ?

reply

hayseed-dixie.com•205 days ago

They have 133 followers. I don't think I really need to be pre-emptive with a page that small. If it grows, then yeah.

reply

sdinpraxis.bsky.social•205 days ago

I unblocked them and found that they had rocketed up to 134 followers. Reblocked again.

Blimey, I came here to get away from them. Surely Twitter/X is more their natural habitat now.
