IQuick Thread: I really love people who work to take care of the spaces we share online. Because Bluesky is less centralized, more of that work falls to us.
As in all things…look for the helpers.

Another thing is understanding the information operation campaigns. They are essentially a way adversarial forces use targets of opportunity through any communication platforms to push their agendas.

I love the content scraper and argue bots shared on this thread. What great resources.
I saw how the AI "artist" community started creeping in so I decided to pay it forward by crafting an AI crusher list. It's 3-4k users long now 😮💨

There may be some workaround for this with multiple users having lists and the labeling service just auto-pulling from specific users' lists. Would have to experiment to see if that works.
Click below and then click on “subscribe” to choose whether to mute or block. Either is fine, IMO!

I've actually got a folder in my Favorites all ready with stuff to share. 😭
And what's wrong with the non-English? What the fuck... French or German is bad?
If you are an artist or creator of any kind, it’s probably best to choose block. It makes it that little bit harder to steal your work when they can’t see your posts.
I think that's the only block list I'm on. Usually I block manually, but with these scrapers it's better to never see them.

I can't tell you of how long I've been afraid to post my photos because I had this one site just use one of my photos for a religious website and refused to credit me, it took months of me emailing them to take it down if they'd never credit me properly

Important question: what’s with the Alf part? Is that a symbol I’m not aware of or just a joke about the 80s sitcom?

We need groups who will vouch for users and maintain revocation lists for bsky proto.
Don't build bubbles, build communities.
I do not want to see this place turn into…
The rest is on us to get the word out on these systems and congregate around some good ones.
“show less like this”, few sites have that option too but i jus realized bluesky also has “show more like this” which is pretty cool

I will sanitize the lunch room for our safety. 😏
100 helpers are more effective than 1 helper with 99 watchers.
Doctor’s orders.
If you want to block some bot activity, people selling stuff, MAGA extremism, unwanted DMs, My list is in part 2
