if you haven't blocked him already, this is your cue!

Comments

mebbe he's on a list so boom...

i do wish that when i search for an account I could "see" it as a blocked and via what means 🤷‍♀️

beckya.bsky.social•95 days ago

Done

solomonphotographs.bsky.social•94 days ago

Already did, along with several other of the most aggravating pundits, largely on the Left actually, because I just don't need to block Right-wing pundits (they don't get reposted by people I follow). Misogynists like Dave Weigel and Ryan Grim. Don't care what their merits are.

proudanselmo.bsky.social•94 days ago

I will, so.

But right now I'm harvesting some great blocks from everyone liking his posts.

jenelaina.bsky.social•95 days ago

Done and done. Blocked him on the birdsite years ago to 0 regrets. I have some words to a few of my mutuals following him here though, sigh. 🤦‍♀️

pbreader.bsky.social•95 days ago

It's also a good opportunity to see what mutuals have the bad taste to follow him 😒

traveller-in-black.bsky.social•95 days ago

I didn't even realize he was here! Blocked.

What a useless narrative-pushing tool for the rich he is.

conductress.bsky.social•95 days ago

I'm pretty sure he was my very first block on this site

shinery.bsky.social•95 days ago

"I'm purposely being a dicklord because being a white cis male with no problems is super boring and I need some marginalized people to shit on"

rowyourbot.bsky.social•95 days ago

I must have as I do not see him anywhere.

matthix.bsky.social•94 days ago

I blocked him, but seems like he’s still the main character over here given how many people talk about his tweets here.

melle.ca•95 days ago

Not coming up in search now, so yay?

torrancesene.bsky.social•95 days ago

He must've been included in a block list that auto-blocked him for me cos I can't even find him.

transarchivist.bsky.social•95 days ago

Same. Blessings to the block lists.

torrancesene.bsky.social•95 days ago

Thank you, "A Very British Bigotry" for sparing us this man lol.

jahangiri.us•94 days ago

Ahhh! I wondered. Yes, thank you!

wagatwe.com•95 days ago

("him" as in Matt, not Colin)

eyesontheright.bsky.social•95 days ago

Oops

wagatwe.com•95 days ago

hahahaha

mebrandonb.bsky.social•95 days ago

Colin out here catching strays lmao

wagatwe.com•95 days ago

lolol my bad

very-ugly-joe.bsky.social•95 days ago

Too late

cheamus.bsky.social•95 days ago

I can't find him. I'm pretty sure I've blocked him so long ago and on the ancient site of Twitter, that I lost count, and I've never interacted with the person, but the screenshot and others like it is enough to know I don't need to interact with him.

givemeanaxe.bsky.social•94 days ago

I think hes ona. Blocklist i subbed because i cannot search for this guy.

litusa.bsky.social•95 days ago

will do - thanks for the heads up👍

undacuvabrutha.bsky.social•95 days ago

Thanks! I have no intention of giving this tool any of my attention.

ohrite.bsky.social•95 days ago

Matty’s truly a menace

misty013.bsky.social•94 days ago

Got good content.
We all need a devil's advocate to keep us fresh and feisty.
Don't knock it til you try it

derekdevries.bsky.social•95 days ago

Thank you for this public service!

noisycrow.bsky.social•95 days ago

Done!

gazzalw63.bsky.social•95 days ago

Ok, I'll pass the word on so he get's on a blocklist.

Any more just put them up and keep the Blusky clean.

prosediva.bsky.social•95 days ago

He’s already on 2 lol.

gazzalw63.bsky.social•95 days ago

Excellent!

prosediva.bsky.social•95 days ago

Oops: 3!

wagatwe.com•95 days ago

I think he's already on a few block lists. he was caught by one of mine

frobeus.bsky.social•95 days ago

Done!

collinsportme.bsky.social•95 days ago

Thanks. Blocked him.

grrrlromeo.bsky.social•95 days ago

He didn't get the memo that we're done arguing with contrarian devil's advocate takes. I'm being very careful where I expend my energy.

silentkev92.bsky.social•94 days ago

He’s already on my list.

grumpycarpenter.bsky.social•95 days ago

Done.

mainchirp.bsky.social•95 days ago

Looks like I exterminated him on my first block list. I love that feature.

boogers.io•95 days ago

Since other people are sharing block lists that he's on, this is my highly focused list:

ubiquity75.bsky.social•95 days ago

He's such a little whiner.

ubiquity75.bsky.social•95 days ago

I just added him to my list of "garbage people" but he was already blocked for me. That fantastic "private school labeler" has him marked twice: once for the Dalton School; and again as "private school." (He went to Brown. Of course).

grammywlee.bsky.social•94 days ago

Thanks

aiddonvalentine.bsky.social•95 days ago

Dude just saw his philosophy go down in flames and now all he has left is arguing on social media. What a loser

jtaylorskinner.bsky.social•95 days ago

I’m amazed at how many people have admitted this. “I just wanna fight!” 🙄

wagatwe.com•95 days ago

they're so pathetic

misterjayem.bsky.social•95 days ago

And it's not even really a "fight"

His attacks have no consequences for him

It's "a fight" like throwing a bottle at someone from a moving car is "a fight"

Jesus, I hate him.

kwknight.bsky.social•95 days ago

I take so much delight in blocking him from every platform that I'd almost be willing to pay him money for it. I'll just make a contribution to one of my favorite local arts organizations instead.

constantinos.bsky.social•95 days ago

Doing the Lord’s work here

toddholloman.bsky.social•95 days ago

Thank you for providing this invaluable public service.

pokepocalypse.bsky.social•95 days ago

Another professional "chattering class" dude, who can't sleep at night because "someone is wrong on the internet".

momus.bsky.social•95 days ago

My claim to twitter fame was the #NeverYglesias hashtag. Not really all that big, because he's not very important.

gigdrain.bsky.social•95 days ago

Thx for the heads up

citizenx.bsky.social•95 days ago

Just like I said, rightwingers have nothing to say, they are such boring fucks, they can only get their kicks from hate engagement

citizenx.bsky.social•95 days ago

Thanks for the catch, sha-blocked shablam shazam

naoarte.bsky.social•95 days ago

This is not a serious ideology.

chimeracoder.bsky.social•95 days ago

I'm starting to collect a blocklist of these folks to make it easier

https://bsky.app/profile/chimeracoder.bsky.social/lists/3lbrnrpktid2o

wagatwe.com•95 days ago

excellent. I have them all blocked already

mhairiforrest.bsky.social•95 days ago

Same lol

shanavwhite.bsky.social•95 days ago

Thank you for this!!

atticuslab.bsky.social•95 days ago

Matty has the honor of being on numerous block lists. He's currently on 2 that I subscribe to.

tonivaldo.bsky.social•95 days ago

lmao I came here to find this and already had them blocked

rstefoff.bsky.social•95 days ago

Thank you for your service.

schrightd00t.bsky.social•95 days ago

sirtom.bsky.social•95 days ago

Done

alvarofreitas.bsky.social•95 days ago

i noticed i didn't and rectified that (he was muted by a grand total of three different moderation lists)

wagatwe.com•95 days ago

hahahaaha

emptyjetseatbribes.bsky.social•95 days ago

I got blocked by him it's more fun that way

yellowpup.bsky.social•95 days ago

I’m new on this platform: is preemptive blocking more helpful in withering the algorithmic influence of trolls than just ignoring them?

wagatwe.com•95 days ago

it doesn't influence the algorithm since the main algorithm is chronological. I block because it makes my and my followers' experience on the app better

willbrownxc.bsky.social•95 days ago

in general not feeding into trolls will lead to them having less exposure, yeah. if you argue with a right winger on here your replies or quotes to their skeets could end up on your followers' timelines

peezkyweezky.bsky.social•95 days ago

I coaxed a block out of him early. I think he’s talking about me!

anarchobara.bsky.social•95 days ago

My first block on Bluesky! 🥰

wendelschwab.bsky.social•95 days ago

Why is he such an asshole?

wagatwe.com•95 days ago

it's how he gets attention and money

davewagner.bsky.social•95 days ago

why does he do this to himself, how can a person be happy while being this tedious

cheeseenthusiast.bsky.social•94 days ago

They probably aren't happy

jeremymuller.bsky.social•95 days ago

Who are the “annoying leftists” he’s referring to? People that want universal healthcare and make fun of him for supporting the Iraq war?

michaelspins.bsky.social•95 days ago

people who point out that everything he says is fucking dumb.

wagatwe.com•95 days ago

i remember on Twitter he'd do that annoying thing where he'd ignore everyone making a reasonable, educated disagreement only to focus on the people who'd just (understandably) cuss him out. he's v unserious

michaelspins.bsky.social•95 days ago

I think he wrote a book a couple years ago arguing the U.S. should have a billion people and that's when I finally realized he wasn't a serious person and that obnoxious contrarianism was his whole brand- I blocked or muted him when I was still on twitter and haven't missed him since.

wagatwe.com•95 days ago

omg yes, that dumbass "one billion babies" book

jeremymuller.bsky.social•95 days ago

Yeah I remember that. What “problem” was that supposed to solve? Was that his way of doing Red Scare™️ against China?
