Don't go on X, then you won't be tempted. (I am also muting people who do this.)

jowolff.bsky.social•53 days ago

I can’t go on X. Deleted my account months ago and I don’t know another way in. For me it would only be reposts.

quatrus.bsky.social•53 days ago

Oh, that's a relief! I deleted too. But agree that it's annoying to see X material anyway!

On X: These people are dreadful.

On Bluesky: These people on X are dreadful.

On Bluesky: These people talking about dreadful people on X are dreadful.

Unless it's someone I've got a strong relationship or the 1 in 1000 that's actually funny, that's an instant block for me. Absolutely no call for that shit

Indeed.
It's becoming hard to not have a certain two clowns I don't particularly want to see presented regularly.

An awful lot of people on here seem a bit obsessed with X.

Many people still haven't come to terms with the fact that it's a rightwing agitprop/disinfo machine.

Agressive use of the twitter screenshot filter and filtering twitter/elon as a keyword has made the screenshot spam tolerable

Wholeheartedly agree on that score...

There’s always the XBlock Screenshot Labeller at @xblock.aendra.dev if you want to just turn those posts off.

Thanks!

I use the XBlock Screenshot labeler and it seems to do a good job of hiding them and letting me opt-in

Ok but we can make an exception for the rich libertarian who wanted private firefighters to save his house, I hope?

michgreig.bsky.social•53 days ago

still laughing about that

bakerbhoy.bsky.social•52 days ago

Exactly 💯

liseabetta.bsky.social•53 days ago

I can certainly be more mindful of this fact.

Unfollow people who are circulating stuff you don't want to see.

For myself, I want to know what's going on without having to go on X myself, but we all have different reasons to be on Bluesky.

Follow the people you want to follow and unfollow the ones you don't.

Started to mute those accounts I am afraid

The struggle for the de-noising of consensus reality starts at home
