NEW: Bluesky has seen massive growth in the weeks following the US election. There are 24 million users on the social media platform.
With great engagement comes great responsibility, which means Bluesky CEO @jay.bsky.team has a lot to do. She sat down with WIRED to talk about it.

But you can also block them individually, if you want to vet them first. There is a lot of information in this thread.

This site is open source and proactive. Do your bit, they will do theirs.
They are going to roll out a premium subscription and then, I’m sure, they will strip away a lot of features for people who want to use the free service

This platform may be a 'trojan horse'.
Wanky things are happening, like disappearing 'followers' lists and a silent admin when this 'problem' is reported.
Be careful folks, this platform may not be all it seems.
In fact, there may be danger close on this website.
Be advised.
I am speaking from direct experience. Support the platform :)
Also: It's open source. You can run your own instance today. Don't sell it. There ya go :)
With or without cash, the possibility of acquisition remains the same.
Supporting a for-profit network does not increase the possibility of our (users) desired outcome.
Or, don't. Run your own instance. The atproto is a publicly-documented standard. You can roll your own "BlueSky" and not worry about what the Public Benefit Corporation is even doing today.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, SELL THIS TO MUSK!
Sorry for shouting and stating the obvious.
Things do keep evolving.
Love what you’re doing here so far though

I will not be going back !
It's on us to help educate: You make your own experience here using Mute and Block with a preference for Block.
It feels so weird that this is being completely brushed off lately. It’s significant for the story.
If the intent is calling attention to those things, keep posting about them. Otherwise, block them & give zero attention.
We don't look to X for thought leadership. They are the example of what should be anti-goals. They are the best example of what *not* to do in social media.
Spoiler: He doesn't win.
It's the freedom of association. If I can't express it completely, I won't be in that environment.
We need to remain vigilant and keep the trash out of here!
Bluesky isn't perfect, but it offers hope for serious thinkers and contributors. X WILL NOT.
Nobody cares what a useless, irrelevant, dim-witted little dingleberry twerp like you thinks.
Welcome to an existence of irrelevance.

Let them say what they want, if no one listens, they lose.
Starting with zero tolerance for fake news.
They're already here btw, but you didn't really notice from your words, which is good.
Majority of deplorables are functionally illiterate, the ones on social media are mostly fakes
I have to agree with you then, the place will never go bankrupt :) I was wrong in my prediction. Pettiness will keep it afloat
Sometimes it feels like the world is in an omnishambles.
All the other Tuckerisms that come to mind may be considered impolite by some/many.
This accelerated the exodus.
Yeah I wondered too why some account have zillions of followers when there’s nothing to follow 🤣
AI doesnt know every LED doesn't need to link to every other LED.
Just now had a woman follow me who says she won the mega millions jackpot and she’s going to give it all away to people here 😐😐😐
And who to mute or block.
Joining BlueSky feels like Kamala's campaign rally. I'm, optimistic, hopeful & joyful. I'm energized to fight for democracy with this amazing community!!
Wished, we gave that opportunity to Kamala.

Mass corruption? ✅
Military overreach? ✅
Intellectual Erosion? ✅
Etc
These should be basic skills that are already taught in high school and (seeing as apparently ~1/2 of the adult US population can’t read or reason above a 6th grade level) should take front & center for a HS diploma. 🤷♂️
Will: Social scientists have concluded that the country is more polarized than at any time since the Civil War. The Civil War.
Mac: Yes, people choose the news they want now, but–
Will: People choose the facts they want now.
Still the nonsense is nothing like the other platforms.
PLUS that may mean less advertising dollars in Husk's pockets.
We have found the undying lands.
for example a service dog's airport potty mislabeled to prove another lie is simply not okay. It's a massive job but extremely important to moderate misinformation.
Good Luck.
Stop reading headlines like a MAGA cuck and educate yourself,you behave no better than they do believing what they are spoon fed.
Kudos to everyone at BlueSky for their incredible work.
But the poster who said the mainstream media will dogpile it was dead right-Bluesky’s a threat to Leon and the Established Order and must be punished.

Don't believe me? This is how Wired rolled this content out on X. Notice the combative and accusatory stance:
Really quickly went from a good service to intolerable.
That's why this is better than Twitter because there's no trending and you can follow your own interests without seeing magats or someone shouting about hateful nonsense
