Vance used the word “firewall” yesterday. It was a clear signal. Here’s why Vance’s AfD meeting matters. Important that not only did he NOT meet with Germany’s actual leader, but the AfD leader came to Munich for one meeting only - w/Vance. vimeo.com/1056952652/f...

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.)
