I wish Bluesky had better push notifications so I could know with precision when the people who are talking shit need to be put in their place. A lot of you are getting off easy right now.

I think you’re having a bit of a toxic moment rn. There aren’t a lot of posts “talking shit.” But you can block them. “Putting them in their place” it’s always a waste of your time. And your last sentence sounds very general. Which could affect your amazing following crowd. ☺️ #benice💙
I just really want notifications so I can ensure I never miss a post from my favorite posters. I need daily @jortsthecat.bsky.social, @onenerdsopinion.bsky.social to counteract the necessity of keeping up w/the sad state of current affairs
I’m a casual scroller & honestly don’t get into the nuts & bolts but I’m willing to to make sure I have easier access to the accounts I use as a mental break from following the news
Yes you can hashtag #bluskycats I think it
Is and then you will end up on a feed with cats. Or you can save the bookmark at the top
But yeah I’m fining the following tab is a lot so I go to the popular with friends. But honestly I have no idea hahaha I like my tabs.
Not sure if your request is playful, arrogant, or both. We Dems deserve more in these platforms than just people trashing their news competitors as if it’s a holy war between cable and digital media. Reality is you both have a place. They have real time footage and you have better opinions.
WE get to choose. Not everyone chooses or wants to be in debates because someone enjoys fighting with people and calling it debating or a difference of opinion. My sanity means more to me that some strangers need to agitate on my page and my time.
To edit a post on Bluesky, you currently need to use a third-party app like "Skeets" as there is no native edit feature within the official Bluesky platform; this allows you to modify your posts after publishing them, accessible on iOS and Mac devices.
There have been some people migrating enmasse from titter, though. The rules try to follow me so I've run into some really mean individuals here just lately.
Well some shit talking is better than others. Like no Georgia fan is talking shit after losing to Notre Dame. But I’ll be talking shit after the Horns beat the Buckeyes this Friday.
If you're an influencer or media personality, it gives you immediate notifications to be informed of breaking news or comments that may need damage control. It keeps you on top of posts and comments.
I'm avoiding politics here bc Twitter burned me out. I have strong opinions but I'll save them for people I know in real life. As a result, I've only blocked one person since I've been on Bluesky. On Twitter I usually blocked 30 or more a day.
I did initially. But it became a job. As long as I don't follow back. They'll get deleted. At least that's my experience with the accounts that DM me. Let the DM sit, and 3 days later the account no longer exists.

When you find a post you want to remember “reply” by putting a pin emoji 📌 in the reply space. This puts it into your Pin feed. Then just click on the Pin feed to see all the posts you’ve saved.
It’s basically bookmarking.
I’d like to know when an account was created. It made it that much more obvious to spot the bots & moles when an account was new and had thousands of followers in short time leading up to/after certain geopolitical events.
Push notifications are a bit weird as you’re competing not only with Bluesky and their server stuff, but with how Apple decided when and where to push said notification. It’s not always realtime even in the best case scenario.
The only common denominator of MAGA is that the all want to "own the libs". They don't actually like each other or Parler and truth social would be much more successful apps. Where we go they'll follow. Don't give them attention or energy. Just block
Honestly, what do they define as “owning” us. The stuff they do isn’t even doing anything, much less owning us. Except for Trump’s dictatorship which will end up owning everyone. But they will be the ones really freaking out.
Anything they THINK upsets us. Calling Trump POTUS, your body my choice, a lame joke about pronouns, etc. Don't bother trying to have a good faith convo or an intellectual exchange. That's not their goal. They're "soldiers" & pissing off libs is their goal in the daily battle in the war against woke
Hmmmm……there’s a block button. I had a bunch last week that I had to block. Guess they come in swarms and then they go away. Mostly, it’s been nice on here without them.
90 million folks didn't bother to vote. That is exactly what happened in Canadian Provincial elections. And that is why we have Conservative Governments!! and that is why Canada is going to sh!t...or shall we say...."Americanized"
Exactly. I don’t mind if that is their belief system but they have been super aggressive and arrogant in their responses because I might disagree and, of course, like far-right MAGA, that’s not allowed.
I encountered a few last month. Called me a Karen and a racist. The comment I made on a post had zero to do w/ race, didn’t target anyone. The post itself had nothing to do with race. All I said was “Imagine being a woman.” Why they went there is beyond me. They really laid into me. It was bizarre.
I think some people, regardless of race/political beliefs, just want to fight with anyone they perceive as an adversary. They assume all white women are clueless Karens. We’re not. I’m not. Had they not judged me so harshly, they would’ve realized that I’m an ally. I left them to stew in their hate.
Moon, scenic, flower, pet and movie posts aside Bluesky is just the Democrats poor attempt at generating mass disinformation via basement psychos and bots. It’s called “psychological denial from loss”. No one in the real world is taking their stuff seriously. It’s just fun to try and educate.
Wow! Your account is attracting a following of some bizarre characters. At least you know without a doubt that you do have influence and an audience. Of course , that also makes you a target. Hopefully you keep fighting the good fight.
Yes?
Stochastic terrorism- a form of political violence instigated by hostile public rhetoric directed at a group or an individual. Unlike incitement to terrorism, it’s accomplished with indirect, vague or coded language, which grants the instigator plausible deniability for any associated violence.
Our lack of domestic terrorism laws is pathetic. If a brown person with a muslim-sounding name uttered half the crap these asshats sprew, said person would be detained.
And yet, ppl refuse to vote locally where all the judges are on the ballot. Until they get off their rears, they are the problem. This is a democracy and it requires putting in the work. If ppl don’t vote in every election for every office for life, then they can own this mess all day every day.
Other issues: BlueSky needs to update their Search Bar. On BrandX you can post animal ID# & find every tweet. Animal Advocates use! It’s important when trying to save animals on Euthanasia lists. I’m trying to figure out difference in animal rescue activity here. It’s lacking.👇15 RT’s vs 585 is HUGE
Exactly what do you consider “talking shit”? If they don’t agree with you or blindly follow? If they call out influencers? What is your primary goal? To monetize your account?
I’m concerned for the future, I’ll say what it takes to wake people the F up.
WE ARE ON OUR OWN!
No one is going to save us.
I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to assert here, but asking five questions in a single post -- especially when most of them are straw men -- is not a great way to make a point in good faith.
Both of those came from anti-Zionist account holders. I’m a proud Jew and dual national even though I 100% am against everything the IDF is currently doing in Gaza.
You're still a small account. The more followers you get the more the automated bots will electronically accost you. They think more followers means more engagement and more eyeballs on their posts.
Have you been around lately? Lately meaning since 2010 onwards? There hasn't been much "robust exchange of ideas" online, especially on the site where everyone fled from.
It’s not debate when MAGAts spew disinformation and other lies, and go straight to personal insults when you attempt to bring facts. It’s simply pointless to engage them, so block block block.
Look im sure you mean well but everyone has their owb way. For example, i call stupid motherfuckers, stupid motherfuckers. Dont like it? Die mad about it, in Russia for all i gaf
Not just maga, the old timey "centrist" dumbfolks also only think in slogans like " small government", "drill baby drill", " government bad, private good", "regulations bad" etc etc. For a good discorse, there needs a somewhat intellectual equivalency.
The king of getting off easy is getting inaugurated soon UNLESS real patriots enforce section three of the 14th Amendment and deal with this traitor AND his TREASONOUS cult of supporters in Congress
It is frustrating…. as fond as I am of this place, I know they’ve grown fast but I’m starting to feel like the dev team is not on the same page as their users..
Yeah there's a ton of features missing. They're overwhelmed with moderation with the growth and need to dramatically increase headcount to do feature builds. Need a couple dozen or more scrum teams, at a minimum.
I’d really like to be able to be alerted when certain people I follow post. It’s one of the only things I miss about current Twitter, is the immediate updates.
Well, I was talking about hate in this thread. While I feel this platform is eons less dysfunctional, I have encountered several hateful replies and comments from trolls from the other side. However I’ve been able to easily block them and after reporting, they were gone.
Polite disagreement, to me, is welcome.
Hate, mean criticism is not polite conversation & I'm this platform for kind, considerate conversation, not hate.
Automatic block to anyone with a profile devoted to raising money. For the many in true need, we’re sorry. For the many more who truly greed: you ruined it for the rest of us.
I don’t want your pyramid crypto, MLM nor NFTs.
Yes!!! The con artists"from Gaza" are ridiculous. "I'm starving and I have 5 kids to feed. Please send money". (I also have a computer, internet connection, and a Go Fund Me page, but I have rags to wear and no food.) Yeah, k, got it.
This is a new thing for me - mute words. As soon as anyone gets cocky with me I mute them. I think it’s better than blocking because they can still see your posts and hopefully feel gutted that they can’t respond:@
I’ve noticed it’s quite easy to misinterpret some content. But I just block the MAzi’s. Don’t engage them. It’s what they want, to turn this platform into an angry base. Don’t let them entice you. Just block.
Same. I’m mostly followed by scantily clad profile pics who post salacious images rather than any substantive written content. But blocking works for now…
FWIW, the reason to just drop, is because i respect that these people ARE just trying to make a living/indulge a fantasy WHILE giving back to those who view. I don't need or want so just sending them on their way is enough action for me.
This. Have to block crypto/porn/strange widowers with a single child/spam accounts to get them off-whereas on the last site, all I had to do was basically a “soft block”, meaning I’d block them & then immediately unblock, which would get the offending users off my account without actually blocking.
I’m more adamant about blocking blatant asshole/Maggot types and forever keeping them all blocked as may lower my IQ to interact, or inadvertently read other’s interactions refuting the stupid shit they state.
Super mind-numbing.
Oh I’ve been getting tons of those as well. What’s weird is I get a follow notification, go to block them, then cant find the follower? Maybe they’re getting removed as fast as they make a profile?
Bookmarks, the ability to sort bookmarks, editing, sorted notifications to differentiate between follows and likes versus replies, faster account switching (ie, fewer clicks), faster addition to lists from a profile page, The ability to 'follow all' when viewing a list of likes/comments/followers.
Ie, when you click on a post and then click on the number next to 'likes' or you can see everyone That liked the post for it a follow-all would be helpful. Anytime you have a list of people, a follow-all would be helpful. If I viewed your followers and wanted to follow all those people, one click.
But all in all, blue sky is fantastic. It cleaned up some features at Twitter didn't have right. It gave us features that Twitter didn't have that make it far more useful and usable. And we are stress testing the hell out of it now. It's doing good considering the strain. Features to come.
We heavily utilize bookmarks on other SM platforms. Hopefully that feature comes here in due time. At least this news feed doesn't refresh as quickly as IG or Twitter. So we don't have to be quite so quick on the draw with a bookmark or risk losing track of whatever article we were reading. 😅

NOT.
Follow. Not
Sure there is a
Difference. I think so.
Cats and that’s why I’m trying to figure it out. Get away from politics whenever possible

I'll see myself out.

All the normal people bailed and found a happy place to talk like adults and suddenly here they all come! Insane!
Im not on glue — these are bots/trolls like Twitt[l]er, right?!?
Spending a fair amount of time unfollowing these days.
Just throw out a random "fuck you" once in a while. Those that deserve it will know it's meant for them.
(now, hopefully, nobody gets upset with me, for that...)
I didn't vote for DJT, did they even vote or vote third party candidate or they voted. Yet, they complain that DJT won.
‘Just finish the transition to magaTs’
These people are so far left they just want to burn it all down and do not care about the consequences on females, LGBTQIA or POC.

3️⃣ tool to migrate from #Twitter (followers/followed).

Being able to search my feed for a specific users posts
I appreciate bsky dev team and how hard they are working to keep up with growth
But, I figure that, with all the toilets Trump went into debt for, he can handle it.
Spewing hate on bluesky is gonna get you reported & blocked.
Hate, mean criticism is not polite conversation & I'm this platform for kind, considerate conversation, not hate.
It's the METHOD of disagreement I'm at issue with.
I've blocked several just now who are really being just plain mean on this thread alone.
This isn't what we're here for.
You're a Warrior here.
Anyone who treats you with disdain or hate, I'm reporting & blocking.
Wow, folks!
Deveria passar no local privação para evitar esse tipo de acontecimento.
Conpre um penico.
I don’t want your pyramid crypto, MLM nor NFTs.
Not under any circumstances.
Every "hot" post will turn up a few fraudsters.
I now have mute words that deal with most of them.
I block others I see, and create additional mute words.
Super mind-numbing.
I hate being ugly 😥🤣
A "Let them see less of me" button, because we already have the "see less of them."
I really only block people who are incapable of discussion. The trolls that assert bigotry, hate, and already debunked/obviously bigoted studies
I dunno, theoretically.
But really I'm so tired of ignorant people asserting their debunked (stupid) talking points.
