It's gonna take a minute since companies have Twitter (whatever tf you wanna call it) handles baked in

Gonna take large companies to make this their primary use. But in my limited time of using the app it is therapeutic to not see that cesspool

They will have a hard time, because there is no algorithm and at the moment... though things can change... Bluesky ain't down with advertisements.

Just realized I been on it for almost a year and a half (I got an invite.)

Honestly I like Threads better for actual conversation (for now), but it's great to scroll without seeing a bunch of clickbait ads and MAGA trolls.

People either post about how chill it is there, or share creative shït they're working on. It's refreshing.

And for both you have to confirm you're a real person when that wasn't the case for Twitter.

Unless Trump and Musk fccks with them and/or tries to buy them, troll farms, trolls, racists, alt fighters, and etc will have an extremely hard time either join or get away with the shyt they say.

There's a reason why Trump backed up off TikTok and that's because MAGA trolls have started filtering the app.

I expect a full migration of the people who are tired of the ****** shyt especially people overseas are seeing how Musk and right wing organizations have swayed elections here and in the Netherlands and Italy.

Also Bluesky has moderation lists in which you can mass nuke anyone fukking around... this profile under the Lists tab seems to have some legit ones.

Mass block or how to search for starter packs.

a.i generated but hopefully it helps. :manny:



Answer | Phind Instant Model​


Here are the key points on how to mass block or search for starter packs on the Bluesky mobile app:

Searching for Starter Packs​

  • You can search for starter packs directly within the Bluesky app by going to the Feeds tab in your search results 5.
  • To find starter packs, use relevant keywords related to topics you're interested in 5.
  • Starter packs are curated collections of accounts grouped around particular interests or themes 5.

Mass Blocking​

While there isn't a direct "mass block" feature mentioned, Bluesky does offer powerful moderation tools:
  • You can create lists of accounts that you can easily mute or block in bulk 5.
  • Go to Settings > Moderation > Moderation Lists to create these lists 5.
  • Some pre-made lists exist for things like anti-NFT/crypto content or content scrapers 5.
  • Instead of mass-blocking, it's recommended to mute accounts rather than block, unless you can verify they all post unwanted content 5.

Key Points​

  • Starter packs are a great way to quickly follow multiple relevant accounts 25.
  • You can create your own starter packs or find existing ones on topics of interest 25.
  • The Bluesky Directory is recommended as the best way to find and follow people on Bluesky 2.
  • Advanced search operators can help refine your searches for specific content 5.
By utilizing these features, you can efficiently find starter packs and manage unwanted accounts on the Bluesky app. The platform offers robust tools for curating your feed and controlling what content you see.

Lists and starter kits are curated by users so basically unless you know who curate what then you'll need to look on popular accounts, on r/bluesky or third party websites.

Then you go on said user's profile, there are a Lists an a Starter pack tabs.
When clicking subscribe to a list, it will display a drop down menu with Mute or Block the list.
For a Starter pack, it will allow you to follow all of the accounts in the pack.
