good to see you

Here's the Jack pack from the Jack Smith parody account.

justagirl-zero.bsky.social•225 days ago

There's a couple of starter packs that are definitely pro-democracy peeps. It seems a little like "lists" was supposed to be, imo. More like, here's a list of people that are into space or politics or photography.

I'll find one & post it here in a couple minutes. need coffee

reply

collectivelyunion.bsky.social•225 days ago

A group of accounts under a similar topic that you might like to follow. You can follow some or all when you see them. I wish there were a pro democracy starter pack. Missing some folks who I don't see here yet.

lauraboerman.bsky.social•225 days ago

You can make one from your home page. There’s a tab called started packs. They are great because you can create a collection of people that other people can just follow all with one click. But even better is you can consolidate all their posts for easy viewing.

Add the pin feed to your feeds. Then when you see a post you want to save, reply to it with a pin. And lo, the post will appear in your pin feed. Beautiful.

It really is! It’s similar to the lists of like minded folks that some accounts would do on Twitter, but WAY better, cuz you can use them to blanket block or quickly pickup a bunch of accounts. 😊💙

vector-ze.bsky.social•225 days ago

I checked out a starter kit on Maga, hoping to block the listed accounts quickly. Dang, there are so many listed that you could spend all day blocking them one by one.

reply

marriedwdinner.bsky.social•225 days ago

You know you can block all accounts on a blocklist with one click, right? That’s the whole idea! And then when new accounts get added to the list, they’re blocked for you, too. (Same thing with starter packs, but for following.)

reply

midnightclear111.bsky.social•225 days ago

I couldn’t find the place to do a blanket block on lists. Can you explain? 😂

vector-ze.bsky.social•225 days ago

Thank you Anita, for explaining.

bodiva.bsky.social•224 days ago

There’s a moderation list called MAGA that automatically blocks key words. Go to profile>moderation>moderation lists and add MAGA moderation list

there are many blocklists designed for that purpose. starter packs are intended to quickly build communities of like-minded people 🙂

@numb.comfortab.ly maintains a diverse, continually updated collection of blocklists. an invaluable resource.

There were 42,000 fewer polling locations in 2024 vs 2020. Fewer than 240 votes at each of these would have closed the vote gap for Kamala vs Biden's score.

Maybe the pro-democracy starter pack involves more polling locations?*
