i should mention for new folks that the bluesky block is cauterizing. when you block, it’s like they no longer exist. they’re removed from threads. no one sees them. smothers the oxygen fascists need to survive online. don’t engage; block! save your energy for meaningful action! - ThreadSky

Thanks x. I'll take pleasure in blocking the bastards now 🤗😘

Even as a not-as-new person, I appreciate these reminders.

It is easy to argue but even easier to block the mother fuckers

Really interesting;

Absolutely, I kind of want to say to them, we already argued with you for 10 years, and that did nothing, now I’m gonna save my energy for something that might work better.

All good to know, this will be a far more effective way of dealing with the brutality and the madness than trying to 'persuade' these reprobates. We saw how the 'can't we be friends' nonsense worked out. 'No. We can't. Full stop.'

Thank you.

I don't like being blocked, because I genuinely don't like pissing people off. But blocking bigots, hate mongers, and the like? Oh, that feels so damned good

It works amazingly! I keep hearing MAGA is coming over here and starting stuff but I haven’t seen one yet because of the block lists. I’m in heaven

also: reporting works way more here than it did on twitter, when it’s shit you should report.

tap in for a thread.

blocklists can be great, but they’re also easily weaponized & you’re deferring your judgment to someone you don’t know.

a big one recently purported to be about “loli” stuff, but just added trans people & anyone who blocked them or called them out.

if you’re gonna use a blocklist, vet the creator!
