I'm, in many ways, a cultural dead end. I jumped the shark maybe 60 years ago, I just recognised the sagging lower jaw, I still have no idea what the programme was
A climate denier is now a dangerous person and worthy of a scarlet letter even before he is allowed to interact on this platform? That seems extreme Peter.
Yes, of course a climate denier is a dangerous person.
A lot of people definitively don't want to hear any more of Milloy's lies - or the idiocy and excuses of anyone gullible enough to follow him - and he has no entitlement to have them as an audience against their will. It'd be extreme if he did.
indeed, I know him as very knowledgeable, open for discussions, but also not afraid to call out where he thinks errors are made or incorrect conclusions drawn. Hopefully Bluesky users are not afraid to be challenged on content.
Genuine question: how does blocking affect who else sees content? As I understand it, I wouldn’t see it but doesn’t really help with spread of misinformation
On here, a block will prevent interaction with you from being used to increase reach. For example, a misinformation purveyor whom you block can't use a reply to you to reach your followers. Even if you block after they post the reply.
it limits its spread - better to do that than engage with accounts just designed to provoke and get attention which ensures, like blowing on a dandelion, that it spreads

He is a very dangerous combination - he has a degree in natural science and can argue like a lawyer.
Nope.
That's his website 😂
Reported and blocked. Obvs.
Can you be more specific? A block of chocolate? A block of Lego? A block of cinder?
The blocks one can use in welcome are various.
Thank you for the warning.
He knows his schtick isn't going to fly here unopposed.
Better to have him reported and his bullshit posts removed from the platform. Same goes for the Nazis.

Always find it weird how these accounts always project exactly who they are, too.
Junk science.
Yup that's exactly what this dipshit is peddling.
I hope Bluesky bans these accounts.
It would provide a safer platform for learning and sharing climate science.
I am going to report this account until action is taken.

Echo chamber the sh*t out of me, all you blocklisting angels!
Okay, I probably better block.
Blocked him with the quickness.
A lot of people definitively don't want to hear any more of Milloy's lies - or the idiocy and excuses of anyone gullible enough to follow him - and he has no entitlement to have them as an audience against their will. It'd be extreme if he did.
And yet? BLOCKED!
Nipped in the bud, as it were!
First individual I've preemptively done that to on Bluesky (not counting the block lists I subscribe to).
Txs.
