There are very few far right accounts on BlueSky.
So if you block the likes of Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Laurence Fox, GB News etc. as soon as they show up, they'll find it very hard to gain traction.
(They're counting on the network effect of YOUR outrage. Don't give them the satisfaction.)

Given that Storm Bert is on its way, it's a little too much for me to resist remarking that my heroine's dog (and an important member of the team) in my cozy crime series for Storm is called Bert...
But in all seriousness, I hope everyone stays safe and warm over the weekend xxx

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

It’s really pretty cool that one thing you can do to support people you like is ask your local library to get their book because it doesn’t cost you anything, it helps them, and the librarian gets to know someone actually wants to read a book and not just use the computer for Roblox

My first #starterpack of "Historians in Britain" was so popular that it filled up quickly! Many of you have been asking to be included, so I've started a second one! I've added a few names from the first list just to get the ball rolling. Gimme a shout if you want to be included! go.bsky.app/8aaAtPg
