This bill is just the start of the President-Elect’s purge. We cannot afford to undo the progress this country has made.

Getting lots of followers who look like scam accounts/bots posing as interested females. Any suggestions how to stop them?

the best part about bluesky is that, unlike twitter, it isn’t putting annoying bull shit designed to piss me off in front of me every 3 minutes

Hi new Bluesky users. Semi-annual reminder to follow my favorite part of this website: the Gift Links feed.
It shows any free link to an otherwise paywalled article that’s shared by anyone on Bluesky. It has legit changed how I read the news.

For the newbies, one of the great features on here is that when someone has tried to quote-post dunk on you, hit the … and select “detach quote” and nobody will see the post or who wrote it and they will look like an asshole. (Blocking works like this too.)

It looks like a lot of the serious issues have already been covered by other Starter Packs, so I threw together some of the funny and quirky big accounts at the old place:

Tip for new BlueSky users: the "nuclear" block.
Blocking a user here is far more effective than it ever was on Twitter. It rips out all connection to replies, quotes, everything. They are erased from your life.
It's beautiful and I recommend using it generously.

A quick note to all the NewSkys: there really isn’t algorithm here. We depend on each other to spread the word. So if you want others to see something, repost it. Liking something adds it to your feed but doesn’t surface it for others.
