"Don't Engage, Just Block" - Now more than ever!
The troll accounts are skyrocketing on @bsky.app right now. My advice is to not interact with them, just block them. If they say something bigoted report them, then block them. If they’re commenting on your post, you can hide their reply so other people don’t interact with them. #DontFeedTheTrolls

I brought another 25 trans folks to Bluesky. I'm not pointing them out, but I love the idea of a boat pulling up to the shore and a colorful tour group clambers off and goes into the bluesky crowds
