Hey @bsky.app you haven’t provided a way to report or get removed from lists that seem to be in the vein of spam.
@antiantiai.verysane.ai has added me to the "Anti-AI Blocklist Subscribers" list.
I’m not AI and I don’t use AI.
I’m on a few other lists of this nature. How about a fix?

Reminder - don't talk to reporters from the Post Gazette and don't share stories from them. This is Pittsburgh for god's sake - don't cross picket lines!
Journalists at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette have been on strike for more than 1,000 days. In our new issue, Tadhg Larabee reports on the union’s battle and its connection to Steel City’s labor history.
Stop the Presses | Tadhg Larabee
In Pittsburgh, one newsroom has been on strike for more than two years. Something has to give. Will it be the workers?

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

The #bass is done. HT to New Perspectives Music for the plans & guidance. Since I don’t play, my daughter is the tester & says it plays well. I’ll revisit the setup in a couple of weeks. Now I have to make another for my son. #maker #pghmaker #diy #luthier #bassguitar #wood #woodworking #cncrouter

I glued the bubinga fingerboard to the #bass neck this afternoon. The hard maple neck is reinforced with 2 carbon fiber rods and a truss rod. Inlays and side markers are Total Boat #epoxy Now on to the body. #maker #pghmaker #diy #wood #woodworking #bassguitar #luthier #empireofdust
