Yeah yes yes, the most compelling creative reason to stay focused going into 2025

I really do worry that years of algorithmic feeds just trained people into learned helplessness over what they see on social media, sometimes

The point I want to make is this:
Here on Bluesky, we have the tools we need to moderate our feeds as we want. But we need to be an active part of it.

Use labeling groups like the one I mentioned, but vet them. So you know you aren't blocking stuff you don't want blocked. But the tools are there.

Go to Settings > Moderation > Muted words & tags.
Add commonly used phrases by these users (but not too common, otherwise it'll block normal sane posts as well), and you'll be sorted.

Don't forget to make use of labels as well. Whilst not perfect, here's one you might like: bsky.app/profile/skyw...

4/ We’re expanding our moderation team as we grow to improve both the timeliness and accuracy of our moderation actions. Thank you for your understanding and your feedback.

3/ We notified users who were affected by this decision by email, and they can appeal by replying to the email.

Anyone who appeals will get a comprehensive review and will be reinstated if they have not violated our Community Guidelines.

2/ This resulted in over-enforcement and temporary suspensions for multiple users. We have reinstated accounts of some users, and are continuing to review appeals.
