I try to go in & find accounts I follow if I don't see posts from them.I stopped the listifications thing for block lists,to me, it's whatever.I'm not going to chase that nonsense. I'm sure some of it's coordinated to mess up the platform otherwise,why would they care about others follower numbers.
I'm on a lot of ridiculous block lists. I can understand blocking trolls and the like, but there are too many block lists created for insane reasons that only harm the platform.
No, I don't disagree with you and I understand your position. I don't create starter packs. I do share them and appreciate ( I think you) and others who have boosted me but I have 10.5k I think and I don't want it so I can't see others posts if it gets too "busy" if that makes sense. 1/2
I do boost when I see lists and packs and always if I'm on them but I got put on a couple awhile ago and I just disabled the notifications because it would aggravate me. The ones I was on were "unverified" X# of followers, whatever that means. I do like the maga troll block list because it works.
Absolutely. I don't look at follower count. I like conversations with people who have the power to think rationally. That's what social media should be.
Yes! This is what @bsky.app asked us to do in the “early days” to help with engagement metrics. It’s finally gotten enough traction that @barackobama.bsky.social has joined us here!!
Good overview on 2025 stats: let’s keep it going and get organized here!
I just wanted to say thank you so much, you have helped me get more followers here in like 6 months than I had on Twitter in 8 years. Thanks for connecting people! 🙂✌️✌️ #StrongerTogether #LoveWillWin 💙
They're being used as weapons. People are being mislabeled as something they're not. It's a little bit much. I think it's making new people leave in droves.
It's annoying. I can see on Clearsky there are accounts I have blocked that no longer exist, but can't tell which by looking at my Bsky blocklist. I'm not going through that very long list of maga, shit-posters, pornbots, etc just to figure it out.
I’ve been beating this drum for a while. The blocklist thing has been poisoned beyond the point of fixing. We need to make blocklists anathema to the culture of Bluesky.
Same. I won't use them. I learned my lesson with them when good people were getting put on them. A lot of people are using numerous ones. Some have so many they're blocking 80-100k. What's the point of social media when you do that?
It’s hard to not be depressed, I know. It helps me just to read & see all the other people that have agreed to come together here. I firmly believe we will get through this & the world will be better. Finding a balance between being informed, learning ways to resist & not being overwhelmed is key.
Find people around you that you can get together with & support each day other, however you’re able. Maybe try & do things that recharge you & make you happy when it’s too much. There are many more of us that don’t want to lose our freedoms & value justice, kindness & democracy. 💙💙💙
I’m new here and almost decided to get out because of the repetitive nature of posts, esp those about “restoring” accounts. I must have had 20 consecutive posts about a couple of people whose accounts are blocked. Boring!

So sick of it.
💙🇺🇸💪🏼🏴☠️
I'm a petty bitch, if you block me for no good reason, I'm blocking you back.😂
NO BLOCKLISTS EVER.
