How long you guys think before the twitter logo is like a nazi symbol, with a don't tread on me flag mixed in there as some kinda hybrid flag?

Thanks for the heads-up reminder 🙂

But I want the adrenaline rush after texting ableist slurs at Nazis!

Is there a faster way to block than having to go all the way to their profile to do it? I often wish there was a little minus next to the little plus on profile pics for ez mute/block

You can click on the three dots on the lower right under their comment to pull down a menu and their you can block them.

That is awesome, thank you!

This goes for tribalism trolls in the IWC too. BlueSky doesn't work that way, so engagement farming & rage bait really won't work unless you share it to others by quote dunking.

Don't do it.

BlueSky has incredibly effective moderation, you can effectively starve them from the attention they seek.

It gains you nothing to interact with them. Just block and move on.

Basically, that whole operating on rage thing?

We don't do that here.

So just block, report, and move on with your day. They'll disappear from you forever, and with enough reports, they'll be removed if necessary as well.

Take care of your mind, and your sunny blue skies! ❤️

To clarify, we don't operate on manufactured outrage. There's plenty of things to be legitimately irate about. Trolls don't have to be one of them.

It takes getting used to, as habits from Twitter/Threads encouraged and incentivized that. BlueSky doesn't. So just block and report.

I love a good Block Party 😏

I've started carrying this view to other platforms, too. I see a dumb comment from an obvious troll? Just block em.
