I don’t know how long this will last, but isn’t it nice knowing when you post something, you’re not going to get criticized and called every name in the book?

I’m f you go on my page you will see the mass block I tried to bring it here but I couldn’t copy the post. Go on my page and you can masssss block these assholes .
Don't apologize, own it. Also, I was "raised" by boomers idk how to shut a switch- only how to cut one from a tree. Un?fortunately I occupy a switch free zone due to my security team. The cat ensures that the dogs & rabbit take my safety very seriously.
10 years ago I wrote a poem about “the Problematization of Everything,” referring to the trend I was noticing of people on the internet dissecting even the most benign statement to find something to bitch about. That trend seems to be gloriously absent on here thus far! 👀🤞
Exactly! :-)
My only fear is that as more people come onto Bluesky, the negative people and jerks will come in too and they’ll eventually drag this app down too.
I don’t block anyone, because I know when (and they will) the rails fall off completely we are going to need to be countering a whole lot more than just being criticized. I think we should all be preparing for that eventuality.
I finally asked one of those criticizers on FB - “Do you make these lies and insults up on your own or have you heard them so much you lost the ability to tell the truth or be civil?” I’m going to do all I can to make this last because just about every other platform is a bad neighborhood to me.
I’ve only read a few books of fiction. I can only really remember two pieces that I enjoyed. A book of short stories by Flannery O’Connor “a good man is hard to find” and the Banana Rose written by Natalie Goldberg. I guess I learned facts and with those facts I make up my own fiction. Be well.
I fear it might just be a matter of scale. :( If this platform gains enough traction, anonymous idiots will materialize as well. Perhaps BlueSky can do something differently than other soc media platforms though. Strong moderation is important to keeping a community healthy.
I'm brand new as of about 15 minutes ago and I'm stunned by the peaceful vibes here. I could weep with relief. Can you tell me the steps to "Block Account"? I'm already seeing just a few of the troll types popping up here and there and would love to preemptively block them. Thanks.
Healthy debate is not something to fear. Disagreement is the lifeblood of a healthy democracy. Derogatory slights are the weapons of this ignorant and unenlightened who fear that they will be exposed as such.
I can never ujnderstand why people can't debate, rather than argue. If I disagree with someone I either put my opposing view respectfully or say nothing. It's not that difficult is it?
Russia isn't paying Blue Sky Griefers yet. Tbh, there's so much less on here and Tumblr than there is on Reddit/FB/YouTube/ Shitter. I'm not one to drop bot/paid disinfo accusations lightly, but like, holy hell. I think the only thing worse than paid psyops is somebody actually Maga griefing 24/7
I keep seeing posts like this and I assume you’re talking about Twitter. I deleted my account as soon as Musk was taking over. Has it really gotten that bad?
I started Threads after the Apartheid Nepo Baby took over and it's just as bad of a hellscape. So many nasty people, and replies to situations of "that never happened". 🙄🙄 I just want some love and positivity!
It's no good, you are going to get called every name in the book. Luckily for you, the book is "Winnie the Pooh!" Honey, sweet, flower, friend, piglet, tigger...
I was just looking at twitter and someone said a nice goodbye and said she was leaving. And about 10 people all slammed her with insults saying good riddance!, leave then! nobody wants you here, bitch!
lmao they're so pissed over there.
Yeah for once a day I go check on the other site and it's as mayhem as always like the chaos just never stops there. It like it's Arkham Asylum over there.
Blocking is absolutely doable. Yes, we are definitely in our honeymoon stage. It is incredible to see it happening & to be an actual part of it. The positivity is inspiring. This is community. This is the best of humanity.
My plan is to ignore n dismiss. Engaging fuels their narcissistic need for attention without which they'll self destruct. If they have nothing to push against they will destroy each other. Be done letting it take us to the low level energy state of anger. Change will occur in higher states in time.
This will forever be one of life’s mysteries. An entire group of people who dedicate their lives to making the lives of other people worse. Actual insanity.

Screamin lovely, isn't it? 🥰✌
Sorry it’s early.
My only fear is that as more people come onto Bluesky, the negative people and jerks will come in too and they’ll eventually drag this app down too.
The neonazis, fascists, racists and misogynists have Twitter and truth social.
The deplorables can fucking stay there in their bottomless pit of anger and dick measuring.
I rather like my timeline full of dogs, sunsets and overall good vibes. 🌈
I hope it stays like this as this app grows. A lot of ppl I followed on X I refuse to follow on here
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(Sorry, kidding, couldn't resist.)
Hi! I just signed up tonight.
It's what #twitter used to be before all the far right trolls became entrenched
Keen for a debate but not when it turns into name calling.
lmao they're so pissed over there.
When did that start?
Let MAGA have X and Truth Social. Without us to bully, those hyenas will get bored quickly
Just hit subscribe and it'll show you.
As I said let those hyenas scream into the void.
We're done with them. Without a left to use as a punching bag, they'll be stuck there.
X devolved into the cesspool it became because Leon took away the moderators and guardrails.
Feel better? 😆
