Yes. The "don't engage, just block" philosophy is tied into Bluesky's DNA at this point, but a) it works everywhere, not just here, b) as an online philosophy it dates all the way back to USENET at least, where "don't feed the trolls" and "*plonk*" were signal catchphrases. What's old is new again.

I'm taking this to heart everywhere I have an online presence. Don't engage with any trolls anywhere. Just block, mute, and move on.

Huge pieces of ASCII art in the signature block... ROT-13... PGP public keys... Necco wafers... Scientology snapping clams... The squeaks and squawks of our dial-up modems...
Good times, good times.

Nobody ever did that. Nobody.

Ah, the memories.
Earlier today I saw a pro-trans Alex Jones satire account named "Alecks Joans" get blocked by someone who thought it was the actual guy.
Thank you for the beautiful memories!
My hat's off to you, Sir!
No endless stream of insults and nonsense. I've had to block a few nitwits but it's a trickle instead of a deluge.
