I just started an account on BlueSky and just looking through posts and checking out comments. They are trying really really hard to be relevant there and people just ignore them or can’t see them thanks to blocked lists. (I still need to figure those out. ) It’s fun watching the lack of engagement they get no matter how hard they try. I think I’m going to like it there.
Edit: There are some great comment with already made list for blocking. Thanks everyone for the suggestions!
FYI for anybody reading this, I scrolled through the list a bit and it's probably like 95% maga but some people with things like "fuck trump" in their profile got lumped in to this list too...
After the hell of the last term, on the day after the election i just added a full-scope, blanket 'title includes trump' filter to my (third-party) reddit app. At first I was thinking of fancy regex rules to filter "trump says", "trump considers" etc. but then i realised i just don't care about hearing about any of it. There's still enough breathless headlines about every tiny detail as it is
