This place is like the heyday of lefty queer debauchery I thought I missed out on years ago bc I was trapped in the closet. So much more fun without the Nazis!!
I'm glad most went to one other place, but there's also Spoutible and Mastodon. Just in case, you might want to open an account there too. It's safe, and really not that hard to navigate once you start following people, just like here.
Took over is a tad extreme. Actually confronting your,odeas on equal footing for once is more fair. And this meme is litelry a straw man lol. 99% of maga people don't know what blue sky is (Sep for when the pedo vids keep making the news) and majority of them wouldn't care anyways lol
Hopefully that crowd doesnβt show up here AND hope we can all be civil, supportive and open to opinions from the left, right and center if presented gracefully. One can indeed still have hope!
I was starting to get sick of seeing this reposted every few hours or so but honestly every single time it lines up the MAGAs who aren't already on my block list so keep doing it tbh.
Itβs been a change for me; Iβm very much a βif you see something, say somethingβ person IRL. Watching them flood over from the bad place made it much clearer they are a waste of energy. Their goal is to waste our time and pull our focus from more important things.
Yup. My rule of thumb is "does this person improve my online experience, or make it worse?" If they make it worse, slam the block button til it breaks! Why would you want people around that make life more unpleasant?
And this is the problem. Twitter owned by right wing extremist and bluesky should be left for left wing extremist? No thank you.
What about normal ppl? Centrists? And everyone between these two extremes.
Rainbow extremists are as bad as maga.
I am weaning from that other site and I swear their algorithm knows I've migrated to BlueSky. Suddenly my feed there is less vitriolic, more tame, and pops up more cute animals. Amirite?
BTW this is my first post here... Liking it so far.
Hi Jon. I suspect this will get lost in the noise, but spreading the word on this tip that you might find useful (which is becoming more relevant as our userbase grows).
If you do find this useful, please consider sharing with your followers:
This is really how to deal with bullies, narcissists and the ignorant ... ignore them. Don't give them satisfaction of your attention. Nothing makes them feel smaller than their existence being ignored.
Just look at how many of them are new accounts with no pfp. They say a few things, get put on one of the many block lists and immediately log onto the next account. Theyβre so desperate for attention and they canβt stand it that we can just mass block them.
Hilarious. I know you leftists like echo chambers (God forbid you should be exposed too differing viewpoints),but incase you haven't noticed, we are here and we won't be silent. π€£π€£π€£π€£
FUNNY THING IS ALL ARE WELCOME ON X. ALL. SO WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? NO SILENCING? NO TAKING DOWN OF POSTS YOU DON'T LIKE? NO SQUELCHING OF IDEAS? YOU WANT AN ECHO CHAMBER?
I already encountered a handful of them yesterday, and it was only my first day on this app. They whine about places being heavily left-wing, but still wander over just to troll.
Unlike twitter, you canβt block them from the options on the posts they made. You just have to click on their profile to block. There are also lists made by people that automatically block all accounts on the list.
Cool. Remember that feeling. Republicans want to cut Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, social security. They want to get rid of the ACA and raise the retirement age. Remember that feeling when you have to pay for the tariffs.
Kevin McCarthy threatened Biden with a government shut down if they didn't cut those programs. Biden didn't fold. It's part of the reason why McCarthy lost his speakership. Those programs weren't cut because of Biden. Now Biden isn't there anymore. Have fun when they actually do it.
I accept that it feels more comfortable here on Bluesky but is it not the case that Bluesky will become an echo chamber for the left whilst X will become an echo chamber for the right? I'm still on X so I can hear the other side of the argument and present my side when it might be applicable.
How do you debate an idea thats based entirely in lying, being bad faith, and being held exclusively to be contrarian and evil to cover up fucking over the poor? You cant. So fuck the "market place of ideas"
Not every space online needs to be a miserable hellscape. The term βecho chamberβ implies weβre here to debateβ¦and who said we are? Most of us are just here for a chill place to share art and chat about our dumb hobbiesβ¦where the mods actually do their jobs and keep the feed bullshit free.
@joncooper-us.bsky.social Elon have trolls posing as pedophiles on Bluesky then claiming itβs a home for pedophiles. Jack the owner needs to get ahead of this ASAP
You're the people who support "MAPS" and reduced sentences for criminals in general. Do you have any idea how many pedophiles Gavin Newsom let out of prison in the last 4 years? Do you have any idea how many child sex slaves are being trafficked over our border?
Done! I did look through some of them and agree that the replies and the people they follow contain some major red flags.
Maybe theyβll stay away if we ignore them
Good list though there were a few I didn't block. It took a long time to go through your list, so I do appreciate you posting it for us.
Most were very hard core MAGA and admittedly here to be disrupters.
Thanks so much for sharing.
I joined Twitter early on and only used it twice because back then you had few means to control your feed. I never used it again until it was certain that musk would take control. I used it once after that, to delete my account. After all the key word was Twit.
Threads, Instagram and Facebook are all using all the posts, pictures and everything else you post in order to feed its ai. Bluesky isn't. Also, do you use only one platform? You're here, so that means you left Twitter, right? Since you can only exist on one platform, that's what you're saying?
Bluesky has no mechanism for hiding posts from users that are not logged in. Why would you assume it isnβt being used for AI training? If anything itβs far easier here. Itβs probably(?) true that Bluesky itself as an entity isnβt using posts for AI data but youβre not βsaferβ here.
This guy is a MAGA and possibly a Russian operative. Look how many he's following and who are following him. In the header he lists links. Check out his instagram. Notice he only has 5 posts.
Nobody took over Twitter. The censorship regime simply ended. Twitter is no longer an echo chamber for libtards and you hate that. Instead of sharing ideas and conversing with people who have opposing views, you run like fucking cowards.
This little comment hurt the feelings of the cult! I refuse to engage with any of them on here. Bluesky will be peaceful. And if the villain buys it then Iβll move on!
Search for the MAGA Cockroaches list on here. Hit subscribe and then block. You can block the whole list in one button push. And it is the most satisfying thing I have ever done!
For the love of everything holy please, please tell me more! Speak slowly- I'm one of THOSE irritating ol Progressive Liberals. Technology-100 Jillian-1? π€£π€£
But I'm trying y'all!
I went and checked to be sure and I know at least this one snatches anyone with that stuff in their description. It doesn't seem like you're on it though π€
So if you join the MAGA group and block all of them, and everyone does the same, aren't you just getting yourself and everyone else blocked? You're in the MAGA group to get blocked as well.
Its so hilarious when they scream "BlOCkInG iS foR pUSsy!π‘" into the void. My brother in Christ! You can't string two sentence without spewing the most hatefull bullshit.
You are not worth engaging on any level! Block. Block block.
Grow up!
Seek help!
Hydrate yourself!
I got it done. Quite a list! I like how Blue Sky changed their image when I blocked them. It made it easier. Many were not happy that we won't interact π€£π
always good to go over these lists and judge for yourself. with some of these accounts i had to dig deep before finding the nasty comments, but it's worth it to know for sure.
That MAGAts hold the thoughts βThey know who I voted for.β and βThey have to value my opinion on some levelβ simultaneously is probably the one thing I donβt understand about them.
Thank you for sharing this information. I have previously spent a couple hours doing each one individually. I would never have thought to subscribe to be able to block, but it works. TY
you can check out Counter.Social too. Zero bots, your personal info is completely private/never sold. Seven years old and a calmer friendlier space I have never found
In my world, I value everyone, no matter their political standing. I also value respectful and meaningful conversations. I believe this is possible even with people who hold different opinions than my own.
Literally the only reason this platform exists. All the others that came out before, came out too soon so they didn't catch on.
Mastedon is slowly catching on but has a long way to go.

It's nice now I've worked out how to block and mute.
See it. Share the handle (bluedox) Report it. Block. Zero tolerance.
What about normal ppl? Centrists? And everyone between these two extremes.

For some reason I get pushed π BS to my thread
Why didn't you go to reddit or something and are hyped about bluesky then?
Anyways, obv the point I was making didn't carry over

Build something cool that isn't profitable + Elon Musk gets jealous + Elon hates buys it = Profit.
