Thanks for the heads-up. Just opened them up!

Cheers

Wow! Word on the new 4Chan (ie., the site formerly known as Twitter) is that my autoblock list is really ruffling some feathers. Thanks for your support, everyone!

Let's continue to keep our little slice of the internet free from propaganda.

Poor MAGA user on X.com is whining about being put on a block list at Bluesky. Crying about not being able to spread propaganda.

You can just reply (like you did here), @ me in a reply or via DM. Much appreciated!

I'm only targeting blatant MAGA cult/propaganda accounts. Because they're not here for any good reason.

Your standards are a little too high, LOL.

I'd be amazed if, in the middle of an empty room, he could sit down on the floor and then get back up.

I used to think billionaires were smart people who were simply capable of seeing things I was incapable of seeing.

Come to find out they're mostly opportunist idiots who took outsized risks, got very lucky, and then pass out their horrible takes as "wisdom" while they run their victory laps.

I was watching the short and I caught myself thinking: this is going to be horrible but I have to stop being so skeptical and keep an open mind because maybe it'll be awesome.

That was dumb. It was worse than horrible.

Sounds like he's still a baby reporter, just, no longer in his early 20's.

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 12h

Done! Thank you for the suggestion!

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 19h

A bunch of them are here and have literally only posted garbage, just blaming and trashing Dems.

I saw the list, checked a few of the accounts, and quickly jumped on board!

I'll take a look to see if there's anything I can do to make it work better.

I'm only aiming to include the worst of the worst. So, it may come in handy if a bunch of bots all the sudden swarm in.

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 19h

I have it set to do that. In other words, if you follow (or subscribe, whatever they call it), I believe the accounts will be automatically blocked. At least, it works that way for me.

It may take Bluesky's server a minute or two to update their cache, so the blocks might not be instantaneous.

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 19h

I took a look at the account and, though it's not my cup of tea, I can see why folks consider it parody.

The goal of this moderated list is to err on the side of caution. Each user can individually choose to block additional accounts that they deem necessary.

And thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for letting me know. I removed the account from the list.

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 20h

Which one?

They're here...

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 20h

And I also made a moderation list of MAGA trolls. Bluesky is great!

Thanks -- This is great and is an awesome feature of Bluesky!

I need to learn how to make a block list, specifically for the maga trolls who have also recently joined.

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 20h

Be sure to report and block the maga trolls who seem to have recently joined in an effort to make Bluesky as disgusting as Twitter.

Luckily, this moderation team is fairly good at weeding those accounts out.

The new age 4Chan.

If the last 8 years have taught us anything, it's that there's no such thing as certainty.
