God bless! i love it but would add; end the electoral college, mandatory intelligence tests to qualify for public office, end presidential immunity / near autonomy and put in protections for peaceful transfer of power
I like a lot of these ideas. I think the left needs to show some backbone and stop acting like the world is ending. There are actionable items we can do to fight back
Big difference is your hate won't be allowed here, and no one has to unwillingly be harassed since there's a working block function. But good luck with that!
OMG OMG OMG, a working block function? Oh no… conservatives are screwed 😱. What to do? (I’m pretty sure you wont get the sarcasm, so i have to explain it (SO LAME)).
Fuck off, stop crying rivers. ✌🏻
If "others" are living in a fascist cult where facts are evil and lies are cannonical, and then eveytime you try to engage you are met with a wall of hate and a monotlithic attitude of owning the libs...which by the way I am not...A BIG FAT NO, I am tolerant by I have intolerance intolerance!!!
That’s been said for the last ten years. The “conversation” has just gotten more hateful and vitriolic. When they stop acting purposely evil and in bad faith, we’ll talk. Till then, blocked.
Yep, BlueSky is that safe place where we can organize and strategize in filling every special election empty seat in the house in 2025, then strategize in taking back both the house and Senate in 2026, and finally take back the White House in 2028.
I believe that’s true for your sadly divided US. Here in Europe it’s not quite the same. Yes we have some pretty extreme people on the right, but fortunately closer to the middle of the road there decent ones too
They think Jesus is a lily white, Nordic, blond hair, blue eye, Republican, 2nd Amendment, pickup truck drivin', Reaganomics lovin', "sumpthin or other".
Full segregation in every aspect of life is the only answer. The two halves of this country are not reconcilable. We must divorce in all ways, no contact. Two separate countries bound only in name.
I wish that there was a way that when you signed up you had to answer a question similar to are you a robot. But the question has to be something no right winger would say yes to.
I hate to say it but I’m thankful I’m near 70, comfortable and relatively camouflaged where I live in TX-just blending in. It’s gonna be a brutal few years. Imma try and keep up with you young’uns!
Organize for what? Strategize for what? Our politicians rolled over and gave up. Our justice system completely failed. If we try to do anything, Trump will be more than happy to send federal law enforcement, possibly even enact martial law and use the military against us.
I saw trumps stupid face on TV and just, it's so astonishing how dumb he looks? Worse than any possible satire. Linda McMahon will run the schools? It's a Joke universe. Idk how to take this place seriously.
I would be sad to see this become just a left echo chamber - I do want free speech, I just also want verified accounts, an objective algorithm and bot accounts blocked
Hi God! (Waves enthusiastically!)
I hope you are having a good day! I have a migraine but it's ok...I was able to work a bit. I wanted to wish you a happy holiday season tho. Isn't BlueSky the Awesome-est?! Have a great weekend! 🫶🏻😊
It amazes me that the right complain about our little place when they have systematically ignored or eliminated people from their places. Funny how when the worm turns they don't like it
Happy I found this place. I've been off social media for years. I would hear on the news how Elon had destroyed Twitter. I would say what we need is a billionaire to start a new platform to counter his. During the election, a You tuber directed me here. There's nothing like looking up to blueskys 🦋
IMO the left needs to toughen up.Drop the “safe place” stuff, drop the loose use of the word “love” towards people you never met. Concentrate on outcomes, this is what a vast majority of voters want. It really isn’t hard. N
Odd, the article seems t advise the opposite of its title, i.e. it says not to feed or ignore, but moderate. Blocking is moderating. Trolls by definition do not seek debate or discussion, only disruption. "Feeding" them enables that. Immediate blocking denies them their goal.
Well, obviously we need the right her as well. Not the hate speech of the far right. But the right that is able to discuss and explain their points of view.
I agree. We need a diverse ecosystem of thoughts, especially since people can tune out now. Unfortunately, all of the people who I've seen self-proclaim themselves as right-wing (so far) don't appear to have any interest in talking if their 100 posts all saying "cry harder libs" is any indication.

Hey @godpod.bsky.social whatever happened to that no-good son of yours?
...trying to think of who said that 🤔
Dammit now I want meatloaf and mashed potatoes
Preach! ✨📣💀
Fuck off, stop crying rivers. ✌🏻
Amen
I'm now a follower, as it once was. 🤗😘
Has someone alerted the Bible Belt they might need to loosen up?
Care for widows and orphans
Feed the hungry
Shelter the homeless
... basically ANY of it.
Even Leviticus, which they use as a sledge hammer against "teh ghey" ... they ignore almost ALL of (except their wrong headed "kill teh ghey").
It's mostly right wing bigoted liberals.
They should go back to twitter.
Blue MAGA, are as racist, and bigoted as the red variety.
I hope you are having a good day! I have a migraine but it's ok...I was able to work a bit. I wanted to wish you a happy holiday season tho. Isn't BlueSky the Awesome-est?! Have a great weekend! 🫶🏻😊
With over 18,000 human invested sky fairies, they’re probably all to blame ;)
Especially when real moderation is gone.
I note that Twitter removed the report option "this post spreads false medical information"
when fake stuff advising people to do harmful shit is ok, your only option is to block.
This should not become an echochamber…
