TO BE CLEAR:

I don't block Trump voters/supporters because I don't want to hear other viewpoints. I block them because I don't want to hear propaganda.

Big difference.

Are you blocking accounts that repost the crap from Twitter/X as well? I came to Bluesky because it is not Twitter. Why would I want to see anything from that hellscape?

lanna-mick.bsky.social•101 days ago

If someone posts videos of trump speaking I would consider it, because the sound of his voice makes me sick.....

bossyemmasdad.bsky.social•101 days ago

I cringe when I hear that voice, as well.

mperrry.bsky.social•101 days ago

i block them because i don't care about anything they have to say on any topic. they don't deserve any attention from me

Yep. We no longer live in the same reality.

echamp.bsky.social•101 days ago

Right? Sad and scary

mimifellini.bsky.social•101 days ago

Big truth there.

doc0120.bsky.social•101 days ago

It is ALWAYS the exact same conversation. They ask you for your source...you provide it. You ask for their source they reply by trashing your source...you could have used FOX NEWS and they trash it.

You continue to ask for their source and they maintain that you provide an " acceptable source" 1st

echamp.bsky.social•101 days ago

Nailed it.

Or you provide your source -- esteemed journalist, famous scientist/scientific study, etc -- and they provide a LibsOfTikTok meme or Kyle Rittenhouse tweet as "equal" proof of "another side."

doc0120.bsky.social•101 days ago

Yes...like Dr. Faucci studied for 20 years....then spent a lifetime learning about viruses...JUST to trick " you" into putting on a mask...but Aaron Rodgers is an expert on disease control.

guynormanbee.bsky.social•101 days ago

For the same reason one flushes their toilet.

echamp.bsky.social•101 days ago

😂😂💯

deeddoer.bsky.social•101 days ago

I block them because I don’t want to read stupid shit.

livesantacruz.bsky.social•101 days ago

Absolutely and hate is not a viewpoint

chrismoore7951.bsky.social•100 days ago

I block them for the same reason I flush the toilet.

Sadly, there are people I will need to send this to.

jessicaperthwa.bsky.social•101 days ago

I block them because they lack morals and ethics. They support a rapist, peadophile, Insurrectionist classified Documents thief fraudster.

leapinglemur.bsky.social•101 days ago

Only the most vile of humans would write treatises on why it's ok for this one particular man to make fun of people with disabilities.

It still disgusts me that it EVER went beyond that. 🤬

caramo.bsky.social•101 days ago

This is so true and applies to real life as well. I didn’t stop having friendly political debates with my dad because I was no longer open to positions that differed from mine. I stopped because he is spewing propaganda that is disconnected from reality. That never was the case before the Trump era.

echamp.bsky.social•101 days ago

Sadly, same. It's no longer a difference of opinion, it's a difference in reality.

hrhleg.bsky.social•101 days ago

Or their hate. I don’t block republicans, I block magat nazis.

rmscott24.bsky.social•101 days ago

Exactly what I was going to say. Hate causes anxiety.

echamp.bsky.social•101 days ago

Same.

vermonter222.bsky.social•101 days ago

I block them because they all seem so angry and want only to shove insults down our throats.

intheprezent.bsky.social•101 days ago

Agreed! Block them as fast as I am able!

starmalachite.bsky.social•101 days ago

I mute because too many of them think blocking means they somehow triggered us. No, not any more than taking out any other kind of trash would, but I prefer to deny them the satisfaction.

onlythewinoandi.bsky.social•101 days ago

I mute them because 99% are mentally unable to have a convo/exchange of differing ideas without near immediate name calling.

melissa0numbers.bsky.social•101 days ago

I block them because they’re entitled little whiny babies. I know that doesn’t sound mature of me but I’m done with the bullshit. Not wasting one second on people like that.

ladystargem.bsky.social•101 days ago

same

mydoggyruss.bsky.social•101 days ago

I block them because they’re stupid, illiterate, incapable of coherent and/or rational thought, and childish. Also boring, charmless, unoriginal, whiny, full of shit, and annoying.

tcar2000.bsky.social•101 days ago

💯%

echamp.bsky.social•101 days ago

Okay, but other than that? 😂

mydoggyruss.bsky.social•101 days ago

They’re despicably craven and lack creativity 😁

hgsmvm.bsky.social•101 days ago

We call it protecting our peace. 😎

blskgarfield.bsky.social•101 days ago

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but a point of view needs to be backed by logic or facts – and they’ve got neither. Many of them don’t even have real opinions; they’re just spreading propaganda and hate. They’re nothing more than bullies, a hate group with a plan.

tcar2000.bsky.social•101 days ago

katdedmiston.bsky.social•101 days ago

So true.

jmichaelmorris.bsky.social•101 days ago

No kidding and now we have to block Morning Joe and Mika, is there any sanity left in the Orange Nazi’s kingdom?!?

andrearobinson.bsky.social•100 days ago

Trolls are a time suck. Period.
