The "Jesse Singal follower" indicator is a great feature on this site, every one of those people is dishonest and incurious in the exact same way that's hard to articulate except as "Jesse Singal follower"

People have talked about the problems with Bluesky block lists (often not clear who runs it, hard to remove, maybe it's just some weirdo with an axe to grind?) but labelers are clear, simple, and seriously, I've never read "Jesse Singal follower" attached to anything worth reading.
If they dislike being shown to be a follower of Jesse Singal, they should ask themselves why. Are they ashamed of it? Why are they ashamed of being a follower of Jesse Singal, they should be asking themselves.
a fun thing i like to do whenever i see one is, whatever their actual post is, reply "why do you follow jesse singal?" they tend not to like that very much
Yes. I’d enjoy seeing that little “Private School” badge in real life, too. (Not for dishonesty and incuriosity, but for that ineffable binding quality.)
Broadly - I think there’s lots of good reasons to follow people you don’t agree with, and I don’t intellectually have a problem with the idea of someone following Singal.
But it’s true, literally every one of them is terrible.
