Is there a blocklist of people who continually post screenshots of all the idiots posting terrible things on Twitter? Asking for a...well, for me. I'm asking for me.

Immediately subscribed. Thank you. How will you take your recompense? I’m willing to go all the way up to “inappropriately biological” for a service of this value.
I find mute words very helpful but they don’t work when people don’t do alt text, so I created a list of people who habitually don’t add alt text to screenshots.
Doesn’t Bluesky have an algorithm? Disconnect from it a little by looking for palate cleansers like hobbies (for me it’s crochet) and look at a different feeds, like mutuals or videos. Call it an algorithm mental health break. The bots have you trapped in a cycle of doomscrolling.
It really grinds my gears... During one of the many Twitter mass exodii there were a number of people I followed who came to bsky and immediately started posting about how much better it was and less drama there was and then immediately started posting x screenshots and importing drama.
Turns out a lot of them (not naming names but they are pretty popular leftist posters) are nothing more than clout chasers and drama addicts and simply aren't happy unless they are embroiled in drama and no amount of moving to better sites will fix them. It's depressing.
This is one of the first things I wanted people to stop here.
And they said it was important to know what was going on elsewhere.
And I couldn't disagree more.
Retraumatizing everyone and making dumb, glib, hamfisted comments is not helping anyone marginalized and actively being harmed to become safer or protecting their privacy and personhood. It's so harmful to our health.
I am new to Bluesky, but I agree, enough of this already. I think most of us are trying to adjust to what’s the norm since we’ve been mentally traumatized and swooped up by a right wing coup. Let’s talk rainbows, butterflies and happy thoughts!

Okay, you know what, where's that block list?

Posting screen shots from it feels like a desperate attempt to stay connected to it.

I saw it mentioned a while back.
